GOD, YOU ARE: 20 PROMISES FROM THE PSALMS FOR KIDS
The Psalms are full of “You Are” statements―like “You are my rock and fortress” found in Psalm 31. These short, simple statements provide wonderful opportunities for parents to teach their children about the character of God and reflect on who He is in powerful ways.
In this book, professor, pastor, and father William R. Osborne presents short devotionals around the 20 “You Are” statements found in the Psalms. Each devotional is followed by a short prayer that families can pray together as they read. Using a clear and warm style, Osborne provides a distinct connection between the gospel of Jesus Christ and God’s goodness, holiness, and mercy as they are illustrated in the Psalms.
AT HOME ACTIVITIES
“Every good and perfect gift is from God” (James 1:17)! As a family, choose an activity you all delight in, such as preparing and sharing a favorite meal, hiking at a nearby park, or hosting a family dance party. Engage in it together as you celebrate the Gift-giver!
CELEBRATION
“Sing a new song to him … shout with joy” (Psalm 33:3). What amazes you most about God? What do you love about Him? Tell Him in an original song or poem. Write one as a family, or invite family members to write and share their own. Then put the words to music or shout them out to God with joy!
A NEW SONG
A breath prayer is a word or phrase to repeat in a single breath with one part on the inhale and the other part on the exhale. Breath prayers help us focus on God and His presence with us. Try this together as a family.
Inhale: The Lord is good …
Exhale: His faithful love goes on forever.
