TRANSCRIPT
Have you ever stopped to think about the importance of knots?
People use them every day in a variety of ways. When a man wears a tie or a woman wears a scarf, a knot is used. When a girl wears a bow in her hair or when someone ties their shoelaces, without knots things just aren’t going to work right.
There are several stories in the Bible where knots would have been used. It would seem Noah and his sons used ropes—and therefore knots—when they were building the ark to move building supplies or keep things in place. Some of the disciples were fishermen. No doubt they used knots in their fishing nets or when tying up their boats. Knots keep
things where they should be. A well-tied knot keeps things connected!
In this month’s My Place With Jesus Challenge, we’re going to tie knots! There are five different kinds of knots you will to learn to tie. Learn to tie the knots, and send me the completed challenge form by October 4.
As you do this month’s challenge, remember that God wants you to be connected to Him. In fact, God wants you to be so tightly connected to Him that nothing could ever separate you. So be certain to invite Jesus into your heart every day, and stay close to Him by praying and reading the Bible. In this way, you and Jesus will be closely connected, throughout all eternity!
