j g bellettThe Moral Glories of Our Lord -  A devotion regarding the Moral Glory in the character of the Lord Jesus.  All of his life went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense to his father.  Whatever Adam lacked, the Lord fulfilled completely in his perfect life.  J G Bellett was a brother from the United Kingdeom who wrote his works in the 1800's. 
Sunday School Lesson 111 Faith Tested and Favored Man Falls Print E-mail

Lesson: 111 Lesson Name: Faith Tested and Favored Man Fails
Theme: Way Seems Right

Reading: Genesis 12:10-13:1

Memory Verse: Job 31:4
Memory Verse Text: Doth He not see my ways?

Attention Getter: Did you ever make a choice that turned out wrong?  Any class member have a good example?

Point 1: In a famine, sad things happen and sorrows occur.  God's promises never fail, even during the times of testing.
Point 2: The man who obeyed God's word and trusted His promise for eternal and spiritual blessings couldn't trust God for his temporal needs.
Point 3: His choice, a sad choice, had lots of consequences: Hagar came out of Egypt, Sarah was affected by it, Lot's choice of Sodom may have been made because of going down to Egypt here.
Point 4: Fear and disobedience always bring trouble.  If the students are well informed, see if they can recall and compare other incidents where this was true.

Illustration: Tell a personal story such as a purchase gone wrong.

Notes: The world rebuked Abraham twice.  Even though Isaac was not born yet, the parental example was followed by him later on.

Summary: God still promises to bless those that trust Him.  However, if you take your own way and trust your own thoughts, don't be surprised if you find trouble!
