Todd really connects to the Bible lesson

We met Todd last year at Good News Club. Since then Todd has been at every children's event we offer. Last summer at our Day Camp, Todd received Christ as Savior. Yesterday I saw him at GNC at his school. I was teaching the Bible lesson from 1 Kings when Elijah ran for his life after being threated with death by Queen Jezebel. The objective for the lesson was to realize that when things go wrong in your life remember that God is faithful to take care of you even when it seems like he can't. When I shared that Elijah felt all alone, Todd could relate. He says he feels that way every day at lunch. At the end of the Bible lesson, I said "I'm not sure what problems you are facing, but I do know God is faithful to take care of you." Todd broke in and shared his problem with me. As he shared, I could see this was something Todd really was struggling with. Todd clearly knew he was God's child, but this issue was causing him pain. So, I had the privilage of giving him ways he can trust God to take care of him. Todd really took the memory verse to heart, Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God." How great it is to stand back and watch God work. It was an amazing scene to watch. At first I comment to my teaching partner later, "Wow! Did you see what God is doing in Todd's life.!" I'm not sure why I am suprised, because before we entered the school that day, we prayed for God to prepare hearts of the kids, to do a work in their hearts, and to teach through us, and that is exactly what God did.
