For Everything There Is a Season

I often wonder how King Solomon felt as he wrote the words to what we now know as Ecclesiastes chapter 3. There is such wisdom in those verses, an actual lived wisdom not just something that he was taught with spoken words. Solomon was the son of King David and Bathsheba, gifted by God with great wisdom and riches. In Ecclesiastes, we see a man who has lived and had all that he desired, but has understood that everything under the sun is vanity. Only those things that we do for God are the things that really matter, last, and help others.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-11
“To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted... He hath made every thing beautiful in his time.”

GOD Bless You All. : )

Moses: The Wandering (But Not Wasted) Years
By Lisa DeVinney

Moses: The Wandering Years
Open Lesson Plan → Open Handout → More Grade 3–6 Lessons →

Teacher’s Notes: In our last lesson, we found Moses and the Israelites on the brink of entering the Promised Land. But when the spies came back with a report of scary giants, the people cowered in fear and wanted to return to Egypt. As punishment, God said none of those who refused to go in would set foot in the Promised Land; He would give it instead to their children. This lesson looks at what happened during those forty years in the wilderness. They used that time to learn valuable lessons about their God while following Him through the desert.

Fill in the Blanks:
  1. A man named ____________________ led a rebellion against Moses and Aaron.
  2. Korah found ____________________ other men who joined his rebellion.
  3. Korah said that ____________________ was among everyone, not just with Moses and Aaron.
  4. The ____________________ opened up and swallowed Korah and his followers.
  5. ____________________ consumed the two hundred and fifty others.

True or False:
  1. The snake bites in Numbers 21 killed many Israelites.
  2. There was no cure for those who were bitten.
  3. Jesus spoke of the serpent on the pole in the book of John.
  4. Nicodemus was probably not familiar with the story of the brass serpent.
  5. Jesus was speaking of Himself when He said the “Son of Man” must be “lifted up.”
Devotional Poem: The Only Way

Just like the snake upon the pole
Our Lord was lifted up;
To take our sin upon Himself,
And taste sin’s awful cup.

All we must do is trust that He’s
The one and only way.
Won’t you look up, into His face,
And trust in Him, today?
