Jack is having fun playing with his toy friends. Right now Wally the elephant is getting a lesson on how to tell time. The rest of the class seem quite amused, for the hands are off the clock. But that doesn’t make much difference to Wally. Every quarter hour the old clock will chime solemnly, “Bong! Bong! Bong!”

God has a clock, and every moment, every tick sounds the same solemn note: “Prepare to meet thy God!” “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation!” 2 Cor. 6:2²(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2). Be in time!

Memory Verse “BEHOLD, NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.” 2 Cor. 6:2²(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) (2 Corinthians 6:2).

God... loved us, and sent His Son

1 John 4:10¹⁰Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Goodness and mercy shall follow me

Psalm 23:6⁶Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. (Psalm 23:6)
