Activity Time
When we feel like being sluggish in our walk with God, this verse tells us that we are to imitate people from the Bible who had faith and patience. Work together as a family to act out the story of Abraham together. After you are done, talk about how Abraham had faith and patience, and he inherited the promises of God.
Worship Tunes
Focusing on the words, sing about how we need God every moment of the day. By the power of the Spirit, we can show earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end. He is the One who is faithful to all He has promised.
