GOSPEL CONVERSATION OPPORTUNITY
In our reading this week we saw that the Israelites had to face the consequences of the sinful choices they made. Read Romans 6:23. What consequence do we deserve to face because of sin? The Bible says the wages (or the payment) for sin is death! That’s a sad truth, isn’t it? Thank God for the second part of that verse that reminds us that the gift of God is eternal life! Because God sent Jesus to pay the payment or penalty for our sin, we can accept the gift of God —eternal life through Jesus. Thank God for that today!

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.
