God’sFlannelgraph |
In
this age of new video technology, it might be hard to believe that some
teachers still feel the best way to depict Bible stories is the
low-tech flannelgraph board. I recall that Sunday school
teachers used those flat boards covered with flannel, which enabled
them to display cutouts of David, Daniel, Jonah, Jesus, and all the
other characters. The flannelgraphs helped my teachers capture the essence of the Bible story in an artistic way.

Those old-school flannelgraphs aren’t the oldest graphic teaching devices, however. God has long had a kind of “flannelgraph” of His own, and it is called creation. God uses the marvel of creation to instruct us and to display His power. In Psalm 19:1, David wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.” In creation, God has revealed Himself so clearly that Paul declared, “His invisible attributes are clearly seen.” Those who have the witness of creation are “without excuse” (Rom. 1:20). Why? On the flannelgraph of God’s creation, we see God’s order and design. We see His power and glory. This should lead us to worship. “O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1). (Psalm
19 -Audio-)

The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. — Psalm 19:1 |

By the strength of His voice heaven’s hosts were unfurled; Now in His honor we worship His name And in heartfelt devotion His glory proclaim. —Branon Creation
is the canvas on which God has painted His character.

Lo secreto le pertenece al Señor nuestro Dios, pero lo revelado nos pertenece a nosotros y a nuestros hijos para siempre, para que obedezcamos todas las palabras de esta ley. (Deuteronomio 29:29) Moisés llegaba al final de su vida. Él estaba consciente de que moriría poco después sin lograr entrar a la "Tierra Prometida". En sus últimas palabras para el pueblo de Israel, él afirmó que existen cosas encubiertas para nosotros. Son cosas que no entenderemos jamás en esta vida, pues huyen a nuestra comprensión humana. Hay tres actitudes que nos pueden ayudar a lidiar con lo que no logramos entender: Confianza - Aun cuando no entendamos lo que sucede, podemos confiar en el Señor, pues sabemos que él conoce lo que es mejor para nosotros. Obediencia - No necesitamos entender para obedecer. La confianza nos lleva a obedecer aunque no entendamos todo. Humildad - Obedecer sin comprender, también exige humildad. La humildad nos ayudará a aceptar aquello que no entendemos. Confía y obede...
