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.
Today’s Reading:
Read Psalm 8
Knowing what happened in the beginning leaves us wanting to know more! What happened next?
What was the plan with all that He created? Amazingly, God created everything for a PURPOSE and for
HIS GLORY. Wondering what that means? It means that all of creation points back to HIM! We can see
GOD in all that He created. Isaiah 6:3 says, “The whole earth is full of your glory.” In everything God
created, we can see HIS fingerprints.
Psalm 8 walks us through all that God did to create the world. Read Psalm 8 and count how many times
the word majestic is used.
APPLICATION/PRAYER:
Wondering what the word “MAJESTIC” means? Work together to look it up and talk about why God’s
name would be called majestic. Thank Him for his creation.
