It's been a busy five day week! One of the blessings I have is being able to walk through Scripture with your child. We are exploring the time period when Israel rejected God's leadership and asked for a king to be like all the other nations. Here's blurb from Enduring Faith, our Religion series:
Not surprisingly, the first three kings of Israel—Saul, David, and Solomon—have moments of greatness and moments of great weakness. Each of these kings started out ruling faithfully, but along the way, each lost sight of God’s will and direction. Eventually, their reigns ended because they allowed sin and unfaithfulness to rule their lives. Even David, a man after God’s own heart, brought great trouble on his kingdom and family because of his sin.
Students face the same challenges. When at school, they have a support network of Christian adults and peers to help keep them focused on the Lord. But the sinful world around them desires to tear them away from their Lord and Savior. As a parent, you can provide your children with the skills and tools they need to keep Christ as ruler in their lives.
I encourage you to share your stories of temptation and God's forgiveness in your conversations with your children. Share special Bible verses that give you strength and courage. Help them know that they are God's forgiven children and God can use them to show His love to others and spread the gospel.
