Many
families start and/or end their day with a devotional or reading from the
scriptures. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we fortified our children by arming
them with the words of God before they left home each day? They could “put on
the whole armor of God” (Eph. 4) and be prepared for any obstacle or opposition
they may face and have the strength and confidence to defend their faith.
Wouldn’t
it be wonderful if the last thing a child heard every night is that his parents
love him/her and so does God? A story from the scriptures as they lay their
heads on their pillows, would give them something peaceful and calm to think
about and dream of as they rest through the night knowing God is loving and
merciful to those who love Him.
Knowing
that God lives, that He loves us and that His word is recorded in the
scriptures really makes a difference in the lives of our children. They have
courage and confidence in themselves as they learn what God expects of us and
they behave better and strive harder. Trials in life may seem impossible, but
with God all things are possible.
