The second week of our home bible study of
1 Timothy 4:12 was studying Super Conduct. This is a tricky area for kids because it's about controlling your actions...and 4year olds have very little self control.
And one area we are struggling with the Timo and Cameron is obeying us even when they don't want to...the whole "...because I said so." So this was an opportunity for them to realize it's not always "because Mommy/Daddy says so" but more importantly, because God says so. Learning our actions/obeying are very real scriptures in the Bible. The kids had a blast seeing how alive God's word is...and how we need to be mindful of our actions everyday!
Our verse this day was
James 1:22, “Don’t just listen to the word. You fool yourselves if you do that. You must do what it says.” We acted out verses to show them that you actually DO what the bible says. This is Cameron acting our our verse of the day...I love the finger pointing.
Then we did several other verses...
Clap your hands all ye nations, shout to God with cries of joy. Paslm 47:1
Let them praise His name with dancing, and make music to him with timbrel and harp. Paslm 147:3
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Ephesians 6:10
Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Ephesians 6:1 I asked them to think of something Mommy asks them to do even thought they don't want to do it. Cameron jumped in her bed and acted out going to sleep...something she never wants to do!
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall
meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according
to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way
prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8
