Scripture: Deuteronomy 11Observation: This has to be one of my favorite chapters of the Bible so I can't just choose one verse. God tells us to love him, follow him and keep his commandments. He reminds us of his faithfulness, teaches us how to pass these things on to our children and reminds us of what will happen if we stray from this command.
Application: God could have commanded us to love and follow Him because of the things He has done in the past but instead He allows us to personally experience Him and to witness His power in our own lives.
My kids love to hear stories. We make up stories with characters like the ugly, scary, hairy, old green monster. Or the famous two sisters....Miley and Ralia. We tell stories at the dinner table, in the mini van, at bedtime and almost any time of the day. As much fun as the made up stories are, the kids love most the stories about our lives and the things that the Lord has done for us. How God brought us together...how we were blessed with the birth of each child...how we came to know Jesus personally...the miracles we've seen, etc.
Prayer: Lord, help me to continue to tell stories about your goodness, faithfulness and mighty power so that others can see how great you are.
that's cool. I took your idea and started telling stories in the car. fun stuff. lol
