Have your family race to see who can get their Bibles and get back first.
Show your family an easy way to find the book of Psalms by opening to the middle of the Bible. This usually will put you in Psalms or Proverbs. Help your family find Psalm 119 (the longest chapter in the Bible) and then to find and read verse 105. Read Psalm 119:105 ASK: What does this verse mean? SAY: Imagine walking through the dark. You can’t see where you are going or what is in front of you. What do you need? (A light.) SAY: God’s Word is a lamp to our feet. It shows us how to live, what to do, and what not to do…God’s Word is also a light to our path. It shows us God’s plans for us. SAY: On a dark path, you can’t always see everything that is ahead but you can see enough to know where to step next. God’s Word will always guide you in every situation to know God’s plan for you. ASK: How can we, as a family, know God’s Word better? Take prayer requests and PRAY with your family.
(EXTRA: Make the word “Word” your Word of the Day and see how many times your family can use it in conversations in the next 24 hours.)
