How can you compare God's guidance with a cornflake?
To find out, you’ll have to watch this surprising TheDadLab video below. It is another one of his great, short videos on easy to do science experiments.
Just as the cornflake is pulled along by the magnet held above it. so we may know that God wants to guide us. He wants to lead us. In Psalm 23 David writes: "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right pathsfor his name’s sake." (Psalm 23: 1 -3)
But does this work? Is it as easy as the pulling or pushing of a cornflake with a magnet?
In the Bible we read about lots of people who hear his voice, know his will, are guided by angels. How does this work in our lives today?
Some questions to reflect on with the children:
How do you think God's guidance works?
How does God guide us?
Can you give an example?
How many people in the Bible do we know that were guided by God?
This is a great object lesson to reflect with the children on the theme of God's guidance in our lives.
It is fun and easy to do with the children. They can take turns to try and move a cornflake over the water.
