Has God Forsaken Me?
Manage episode 306224536 series 2864262
Just what do baby chick hatching, a little boy under a blanket and feeling like God is forsaking us have in common? On today’s episode we talk about all three of these and how they teach of a merciful God who wants what is best for us.
Episode Discussion Points
- Story of my son’s Kindergarten teacher having baby chicks hatch in her classroom
- How my son mimicked what he saw by grabbing his blanket and hatching out of it while I hugged him and was so happy to see him when he “hatched.
- Why it is important to allow baby chicks to hatch on their own
- How chicks have all they need to break out of their shell—nutrients, an air sack and even a special tooth to help crack the egg.
- How God plays into this image of a chick pushing its way out of it’s shell—how He is there waiting and encouraging us to gain the strength necessary to move forward.
- My personal experiences feeling alone, forgotten and forsaken.
- How my perspective has changed as I think about God looking at us like a mother hen looks at her baby hatching.
- Bible verses that talk about:
- He sustains us
- Fear not
- Have courage
- God hasn’t forsaken us
- He sees the sparrows
- He has graven us on the palms of His hands
- He is preparing the way for us
- Someday He will be there to greet us as we finally break free of our shell and welcome us home.
