Stories from the olden time: Teacher's text book, course IV, part I

Do you remember what the Bible says about Noah? Noah walked with—whom?
Let us see what that means. What is the road that God walks? It is
the way that leads to heaven. It is the way of love, goodness, joy,
kindliness, obedience, trust, patience. Noah walked that way, but the
other people were filled with violence and their thoughts were evil.
There are no such things as violence and evil in the way that God walks,
so people who love those things are not walking with God. What do you
think of Abraham—did he walk with God? Why do you think so? (Get from the
children the story of his obedience to God’s call and the memory text
for that lesson; his giving Lot the first choice and the Golden Rule;
his unselfish risking of his life to rescue Lot, showing that he was
a true friend and brother, and his kindness in entertaining those who
he thought were strangers. Call for the memory texts for both of these
lessons by subjects and read or recite to the children Hebrews 13:16.)
How splendidly Abraham did these things! What name did he earn by his
obedience and love?
What story have we had about a woman who walked with God? Does any one
walk with God in these days? Can boys and girls as well as men and women
walk with God? Certainly, anyone who loves the Lord may walk with him,
and he loves us so much that it grieves him when we choose to go the
other way. In his Word we are told, “In all thy ways acknowledge him, and
he will direct thy paths.” Have you ever heard what seemed almost like a
voice inside of you saying, “That is wrong, do not do it”? That is the
voice of God speaking to you, for he has said, “Thine ears shall hear a
word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it; when ye turn to
the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” So that the voice that you
hear, which we call conscience, is God’s voice trying to keep you from
turning away from him and walking in evil ways. What does our text for
this year say? (Luke 11:28.) Is it easy to keep the word of God, to walk
his way? No, it is not easy but he has promised to help us and he will do
so always if we ask him. Do you talk to your heavenly Father every day?
