*Recall the Bible story Things you need: various coloring pages and crayons As your child colors, ask them the discussion questions. Help them answer any questions and see if they have any additional questions. *Word Search Things you need: “Word search” and pencil or crayon Encourage your child to complete the word search with words from today’s Bible story. Ask them if there are words that they do not understand or ask your child to explain some of the word meanings to you in their own thoughts. *Activity Sheets Things you need: Print the additional activity sheets. Have some fun reinforcing what the Bible taught us today. *Living It Out/Pray Our video today talked about Psalms 119 being the longest chapter in the entire Bible! Did you know that the Psalm is divided into 22 sections of 8 verses, each beginning with the next letter in the Hebrew alphabet? This would help people to memorize this Psalm. Imagine-memorizing 176 verses! We are not going to challenge you to memorize this Psalm this week, but we are going to challenge your family to read through it this, and next week. Read through the Psalm, eight verses at a time, as a family. Talk about what words you may not understand. Ask each other what the verses mean. Pray for God to help you understand what His Word means and that He will hide it in your heart as you continue to spend time reading it each day.
