Splash into Scripture
My 10-year-old girl has a lot of questions these days that lead to meandering faith conversations. Recently, she asked about why God didn’t give Satan a second chance. But who is to say He didn’t? Of course, Satan is a fallen angel, so He wasn’t created in the image of God like humans are.
As we talk, more questions come, so I’m thrilled to have a new resource to help me with answers for my curious girl as we splash into more Scripture this summer!
Rachel and I spent some time looking up words and ideas she had questions about in the Explorer Bible Dictionary for Kids. It’s an alphabetical listing of lots of people, places, and promises in the Bible.
I know reading may not be at the top of your kids’ summer bucket list, but I think these resources will make them willing. I’m a firm believer that sharing God’s Word with kids in ordinary ways is how they are able to write truths upon their hearts. God has to repeat truths to me, so I know our kids need the same anthems.
