What We Learned:

Today, the children learned that the Bible can be used to guide us through our time here on earth. But it does no good if we don't know what His Word says. That's why it is important, even for children, to read and study the Bible on a regular basis.

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:

When it is nearly dark outside, stand in the center of a room with the lights off. Look out the window and notice the dimly lighted sky. Now turn on all the lights in the room and look out the window. Notice now how everything outside looks totally dark. This is similar to God's Word. which is known as the Light. When we are far from God's Light (in a dark room), the sin of the world outside doesn't appear so dark. But when we are close to God's light (in a well lit room), it is east to tell how dark the sin of the outside world truly is.

Daily Prayer:

Lord, Your Word is a lamp to my feet, giving me the light I need for each and every step I take. Thank You Lord for watching over me, for guiding me and for protecting me. Please direct my footsteps according to Your Word, and let no sin take ahold of me to draw me away from you. Amen!!!!!
