Materials<\/strong>
\nEgg timer, stop watch, alarm clock, wall clock, a metronome and anything else used to tell time.<\/p>\n

Begin with some questions:<\/strong>
\nWhat are some things you really would like to have, but don’t have yet?
\nWhat are some things you would like to do, but haven’t done yet?
\nWhere are some places you would like to go, but haven’t gone yet?<\/p>\n

Discussion<\/strong>
\nIt’s often hard to wait on things. For some things we are not old enough yet? For other things we don’t have the money yet? Maybe we don’t even have the ability yet. You are not old enough to drive a car. You may not have enough money for a new bike. You may not have the skills to be a doctor yet.<\/p>\n

God has plans for everything, but not everything may be ready yet. Sometimes we have to wait until God has everything ready. We have to trust he knows the right time for everything.<\/p>\n

Show children all the time devices. Explain how each works.<\/p>\n

Application<\/strong>
\nGod says that learning to be patient is good for us. We can’t expect everything we want immediately. We must learn to wait on God’s perfect timing. (Hold up a clock) God has a set time for everything to happen, according to his plan. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) We must trust God completely, because we know he has a perfect plan for each one of his children. Sometimes doing God’s will means waiting for his timing. See also Romans 5:3-4; Hebrews 10:36<\/p>\n
