Dear Bethel Builders,
I’m excited about this journey (Time2Build campaign) and I hope you are as well. After this past weekend’s experience I know God is going to use this time to build our faith corporately and individually.
As promised the previous post is today’s devotion but in order to deepen our family devotional experience here is a few simple suggestions…
1. Choose a consistent time and place. Whether it’s at breakfast around the table or in your children’s rooms just before bedtime, having devotions at the same time and same place is the best way to be consistent. Choose the best time for your family and then don’t worry if you miss a day here or there.
2. Have different family members read the Scripture and devotion each day. This will give everyone a feeling that they’re a part of deciding to have family devotions.
3. After reading the devotions, take a minute to pray together. Talk to God about the needs in your family... the church...the world... your friends... those who need to find Christ... your work... your school...etc.
4. Be yourselves! It’s O.K. to laugh. Noise is not only allowable during devotions...it is a must. Let your children be themselves during times of devotion it’s amazing how much more they learn.
“You must love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and might. And you must think constantly about these commandments I am giving you today. You must teach them to your children and talk about them when you are at home or out for a walk; at bedtime and the first thing in the morning.” Deuteronomy 6:5-7 (TLB)
