Object Lesson

Have you ever felt stuck in your life? Maybe you are supposed to learn something new, but you just don’t feel like studying it. Or maybe you are supposed to do a big job or a chore, but you don’t want to do it. Maybe you are working on a big project, but for some reason you just can’t figure out what to do next. You feel totally stuck.

When we feel stuck we might need something to help us to get unstuck. Like this?

(Take out the plunger.)

Do you know what this is used for? It helps get your toilet unstuck. Has yours ever been stuck before?

Sometimes in our lives we need something that will help us to get unstuck too. Not like this plunger but something else. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 6:6 that we should not be lazy.

When we feel like we are stuck we should remember that God does not want us to be lazy. We should start moving forward and do the things that we feel are holding us back.
