Family Day 11: Family Fortress
Dive into the Word
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in Him I will trust.' Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you." -Psalm 91:1-7 (NKJV)
Family Moment
Create a family fortress with pillows and blankets. Gather inside and discuss what everyone things about when they hear the word "refuge" and "fortress." Read Psalm 91:1-7 together. What does it mean to say God is our "refuge" and "fortress"? Share examples of God's protection in your life and from the Bible. Is there something you're afraid of today? After sharing, invite everyone to speak God's Word over each fear shared: "God, You're my refuge. I trust in You, and I'm safe!"
Let's Pray!
- Whenever we need help, we can always run to God for anything.
- Take some time today to thank God for all He has done for you and your family.
- Pray: "Father, You are an amazing protector! Amen."
