Puppets are an object lesson on yielding
to God's hand at work in our lives.

2. Activity
If you can obtain a puppet or two, bring them to
your class. Using paper lunch sacks, or socks,
provide children with materials to make puppets of
their own. Have children design and name their
puppets. You might give them a couple of stories to
act out with their puppets.

3. Another options is to have the children each
make the puppet introduce itself to the rest of
the class. You might give awards for the most
unusual, best dressed, funniest, puppets. Etc.

4. After all the puppets have been
created and all the kids have used
them a bit, ask the children the
following question:

5. Debrief
“Who decides what the puppet does,
the puppet or the person who’s hand
is in the puppet?”

6. Application
Of course the puppet can’t make any decisions. It
can only do what the hand makes it do. Nothing
can hold back God’s “Hand” as He does what he
pleases like a hand in a puppet. But God gives us
some choices and we can resist the hand of God
in our lives.

7. Our task in doing God’s will is to present
ourselves to him (Romans 12:1&2) and to
be filled with Him (Ephesians 5:18) so he
can accomplish the tasks for which we
were created. (Daniel 4:35, Proverbs 21:1)
