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!
