Kids Ears 2 Hear
Last year a young boy in Edmonton drew this prayer picture. He said “When the church puts on Joseph’s rainbow colored coat God’s glory will dwell there.”
Hmm, what do you think God was trying to tell us?
Let’s look very quickly at Joseph. He was the 11th son of Jacob. He was loved wherever he went and didn’t give up no matter how hard it was. He heard God’s voice and God gave him a strategy to preserve and provide for many people. He obeyed what God showed him and prepared and was ready when hard times came. Because of that he cared for the hungry and the poor. He cared for his family, the Jewish people. He had the authority that God had promised him he would have when he was a kid. He could have given up and thought that the dream that God had given him was dead. But NO in God’s time it came true. He became the deliverer of Egypt.
Read all about Joseph in Genesis 37, 39-45
Did you know that the rainbow was Gods’ signature so to speak? Here is a picture Ezekiel had of God.
All around him was a glowing halo, like a rainbow shining in the clouds on a rainy day. This is what the glory of God looked like to me. When I saw it, I fell face down on the ground…Ezekiel 1:28
Where else have you seen a rainbow in the Bible? Look at the thoughts about Joseph to help you figure out how you can put on God’s rainbow colored coat. Can you figure out who Joseph was like in the New Testament?
SING THIS SONG AS A PRAYER:
Open up my eyes Lord, that I may see
Open up my heart Lord that I may believe
The love you have for me
1. Pray that God would give people of all ages dreams, to see what is on His heart for your nation.
2. Pray that God would reveal His game plan or strategy, so that many people would see God’s love and provision and care. Pray that many people would turn to Jesus.
3. Pray that God would raise up someone or many people like Joseph in your nation, that would obey, and walk in God’s authority and love God with all their hearts.
- pray that families would be united and cared for
- pray that the hungry would be fed
- pray that the dreams and visions that God gave people long ago would be restored.
4. Pray That the eyes of the Jewish people would be opened up so that they can see who Jesus really is, their deliverer!
Lord Jesus we pray as Kids that you would speak to us as you spoke to Joseph. Help us to be bold and obedient like Joseph and trust you, no matter what. Amen
