GOSPEL CONVERSATION OPPORTUNITY
Read Jeremiah 8:21
I am broken by the brokenness of my dear people; I mourn: horror has taken hold of me.
Sin should make us sad! Jeremiah’s heart was broken because of the sin of his people. He did not want them to face the consequences of their actions. He spent a lot of time asking God for second chances for the Israelites. Is there someone in your life that you know needs Jesus? Do you love them enough to tell them the good news that Jesus came to earth to die for our sins so that we can live forever in Heaven with Him? Ask God to open your eyes to the people around you who need to know Jesus. Pray for opportunities to share the love of Jesus and the truth of the gospel with those you see.

August Memory Verse:
“Listen, Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.”
Using the daily reading prompts from George H. Guthrie’s Read the Bible for Life, here’s how to use this devotional:
- Bring your Bible! Your kids need to see that everything you are reading to them or learning about comes from an actual Bible!
- Each day starts with a reading prompt. Read the selection as a family. If your kids are readers, encourage them to read along with you.
- After you’ve read the passage, read the short devotional thought that goes along with each passage.
- Prayer and application are important any time we read God’s word! After each devotional, there is a challenge to help apply what your family has read that day.
- There is a reading for six days of the week. The last reading of the week is a Gospel Conversation Prompt to help you connect the reading from the week with God’s plan for salvation.
