2012 SKY VBS - Day 1

Pat the Bat is our Bible Buddy today.  He wants us to know that:

Pat wants us to know that it doesn't matter whether we are young or old; big or small; black, brown or white; girl or boy, adult or child - it doesn't matter who you are - you can trust God, because Anything is Possible with God.  Our Bible verse for today comes from 1st Samuel 16:7:

People look at the outward appearance,

but the Lord looks at the heart. 

Our Bible story is about a soldier - a soldier from long, long ago and far, far away:  A Roman Centurion. This centurion was used to commanding 100 soldiers who listened to his instructions and obeyed him.  When the centurion's servant was very, very sick, he knew that Jesus could heal him.  But he didn't want to bother Jesus when He was busy, so the centurion said, "Sir - I know that if you just say the word, my servant will be healed."   That took a lot of courage and faith!

Jesus thought it was really cool that this Roman commander had so much faith in Him.  He said, "Go home!  Your servant is well."  And sure enough, when the centurion went home, he found that his servant had been healed.  Anything is possible with God.

Here is a wonderful song for you to sing that will remind you every day that anything and everything is possible with God.
