“Supremely lofty will be thy station, if thou remainest steadfast in the Cause of thy Lord.” Baháʼu'lláh

Let us start our lesson saying some prayers and continue to work on memorizing "O my Lord! O my Lord! I am a child of tender years."

Steadfastness is being faithful. It is remaining true to someone or something in spite of any tests or obstacles that appear to stop you. When we are steadfast, no matter what happens in life, we always remember God and our love for Him. During life’s tests and difficulties, the steadfast believer is like a strong ship in the storm. You don't let yourself become battered or blown off course. You just ride the waves. Therefore, nothing that others can say or do to us can affect our faith in God. We love Him and obey His laws and teachings.

“Supremely lofty will be thy station, if thou remainest steadfast in the Cause of thy Lord.” Baháʼu'lláh

The Wolves and the Goats

You can introduce today’s game by telling a story to the children about a herd of goats that had to pass over a very old bridge to get to the pasture where the sweet grass grew. Underneath the bridge lived a family of wolves that loved to eat little goats. But the wolves were very lazy and always slept a lot, waking up only at the sound of a goat passing over the bridge. The goats were very smart and learned how to walk lightly over the bridge without making any noise because, after all, they did not want to wake up the wolves. They listened closely to the snoring of the wolves, and if at any moment it stopped, they would stay very still, because they knew that the wolves were listening. But if the goats stayed very still, the wolves would go back to sleep.

Now, point to a “bridge” that you have made by laying sticks at different heights between two rows of benches. The children must “cross” the bridge, going under the high sticks and over the low ones. Clap your hands or hit a pan to represent the snoring wolves. Every now and then, the snoring stops and the wolves wake up. At those times, the children crossing the bridge have to stay absolutely still, even if one of their feet is in the air, until the wolves go back to sleep. If a child knocks down a stick or makes even the smallest noise, the wolves wake up and gobble up the little goat.
