Psalm 139:12
God Watches Over You!
It is Day 3 of PandaMania VBS, and today we learned from Boomer, a Giant Panda, that GOD WATCHES OVER YOU! [Thank You, God!]. God loves you very much, and He watches over you wherever you are! Isn't that wonderful?
Our story today was about Jonah - one of God's preachers. God asked him to go and talk to the people of Ninevah, and Jonah decided he didn't want to. He had been told by another preacher that the people of Ninevah were really bad! They: lied, cheated, practiced witchcraft, murdered people, and worshiped idols. So Jonah ran away!!! He went on a ship, got tossed overboard, and was swallowed by a Big Fish! Some people say he was swallowed by a whale, but the Bible only says that it was a BIG FISH! He was inside the fish for 3 days - it must have been really cold, really wet, and really smelly!
Jonah looks really miserable, doesn't he? But God was watching over him, and after 3 days, the fish coughed him up on dry land. Right away, Jonah decided to go to Ninevah! Good for Jonah! The city was very big. It had over 120,000 people in it, and it took Jonah 3 days to talk to all the people. But all the people decided to listen to Jonah, and they were sorry for their bad ways and promised to do better.
Bible Question #1:
What kind of fish was it that the Bible says swallowed Jonah?
Bible Super Question:
What city was Jonah supposed to go to, how many people did it have, and how long did it take Jonah to talk with all of them?
