This year we have a new curriculum and it is awesome! Each age level studies the same story in the Bible from toddlers up to adults. This week it was the Story of Abram Following God's Direction. I thought I would laugh myself to pieces...as I still have a hard time believing this is really happening!!! Bible Point. "We can always Trust God."
Key Verse from Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." THAT'S A FACT!!! Doing God's will doesn't always mean things will be easy, BUT it does mean you have to trust Him...(BUT I have to say, thus far on our journey, things have been "crazy" straight!!)
So that is what our family is doing at the moment, and we strive to do each day...We know that this journey would NOT be possible without our trust in the Lord. (Did I mention that I don't like to fly!!)
Talk Topics: Discuss the big picture of God's directing your family by considering the questions: "What does God want us to do or be as a family?" or "What is God's plan for our family?"
Talk about people your family knows who seem to take risks in trusting God's plan for their lives.
Talk about God's history of faithfulness to your family. What has God promised you that he's delivered? (My list is endless...)
This is followed by Bible Verses and daily challenges which makes for interesting discussions with your children. This week was a great lesson since our children KNOW that we can not do any of this without God's help. Our prayers each day are that we do what He would have us do in all situations (I am sorry to say we certainly don't always do that)...We lean on Him, at times, we cling to Him, and in this whole big world of uncertainty, we are in awe that there is always one certain constant...our Lord and Savior, the Alpha and Omega, and He loves us forever and always...Thanks be to God!
