Blindfold

When we do something for the very first time it can be a little bit scary.

Do you remember your very first day at school?

Your mother probably went in with you to help you find your room and meet your teacher.

When you got on a bicycle for the first time, someone probably walked along beside you and helped hold you up at the very beginning.

That gave you confidence and soon you were riding on your own. When you went swimming for the first time, you didn't just go out and jump in the pool, did you?

No, there was someone with you to hold you up until you you could swim on your own.

It really helps if we have someone we trust to be with us when we are about to do something we have never done before.

What if I will blindfold you and find your way back to me and bring a water?

How do you think you might feel?

Would you be worried that you might bump into something and hurt yourself?

Would you be afraid that others might laugh at you when you went the wrong direction?

What if I said that I would go with you and hold your hand?

You trust me, don't you? I will be with you every step. How does that make you feel?

How about you, do you ever take a journey into the unknown?

Sure you do. Just about every day we face things which we have never done before.

They may be a bit scary, but we know that God is with us. We just have to trust him to lead the way.
