This devotional is quite fun....Take a box of maybe 6 - 8 crayons and a paper bag or an envelope. Tell that you know everything, because you have the magic eye. And get them to empty the box and choose one colour and put it back into the box, ad the rest in the envelope. All this while you have your back facing them. When they are ready, you take the box with the one crayon in it and shake it, pretending to guess what colour it is. You will then bring it with both hands and put it behind you, secretly opening it and scraping a little of it on your nail. You will then bring it back to the front and you will be able to tell the colour by the little on your finger nail. They will want you to do it several times, but each time you would guess it. You can even let them try, and most of the time they would not be able to guess the colour.You don't reveal the truth to them at this point yet.
Then you can choose a bible story about the omniscience (all-knowing) of God, say Job. God knew throughout all of the sufferings of Job that he will restore everything to him. The point of the story is that God will take care of us in good or bad times - our job is to trust him.
At the end of the story you reveal your secret to the children.

Yes, I thought YL would see through this right away, but she was as puzzled as the kids :)
Paul and Gay Teck had signed up for a google account and I've invited them.
But you're the first to comment :)
