This object lesson will show how much Jesus loves you, as it makes Isaiah 43:2 come alive! Take the time to do this with your children or delegate it to one of your children to take charge and demonstrate to your family.
Stuff a paper towel all the way to the bottom of a clear glass (one you can see through), so it will remain there when turned upside down. Fill a large mixing bowl or sink with water. Now completely immerse the glass, upside down, into the water, keeping the glass straight (no tipping to the side). You will see that the paper towel remains completely dry, even though the entire glass is immersed deep in the water. The paper is totally shielded, even though there is no lid on the glass! Now pull the glass straight out of the water, without tipping, and you will see it is completely unaffected by the water!

You can talk with your family about how we are like the paper towel and the Lord is able to shield and protect us in real life as the glass does. The Lord is L"OO"KING after you!
When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned or scorched; the flames will not set you ablaze. ~ Isaiah 43:2

Children learn lessons in a more permanent way when they not only hear a concept, but see it as well. This educational resource of Robert Krampf's is an excellent tool for parents and grandparents. Just go to the Internet, watch one of his favorite science experiments on video, and write out your own object lessons to teach children biblical concepts.

Homeschoolers, Christian school teachers, Sunday school teachers and camp directors will also find this link to be a great resource. Each science experiment has the possibility of not only teaching a scientific concept, but a biblical lesson found in God's Word.
