Dive into the Word
"One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord alal the days of my life, to gaze on teh beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in his temple." - Psalm 27:4 (NIV)
Family Moment
What does it mean to "seek"? The Bible shows us that seeking is what we thing about, the things we love and where we spend our time. God knows our lives are filled with lots of destractions. Thankfully, followers of Jesus have the Holy Spirit as guide and helper. Make and decorate a "telescope" out of a paper-towel tube, and write the words from Psalm 27:4 on the tube. Play a game of I Spy and "seek" things while only looking through the telescope. Adults, now guide kids toward finding things like the Bible, the nature God created or a framed Scripture. See how much easier it is to seek and find when you have guidance? That's what the Holy Spirit does for us every day!
Let's Pray!
- Reflect: I will seek God daily with joy!
- Play "I Spy" with your telescope and look for God's presence throughout your day. How many things can you find around you that represent Him?
- Pray: "Jesus, help me to seek You every day of my life. Amen."
