What Kids Need
Kids Need Quiet-times
(Isaiah 40:31; Jeremiah 9:23-24)
The Situation: Kids think, "I'm too busy to read my Bible and pray." The truth is, most children enjoy more discretionary time now than ever. They spend hours watching TV, or mastering video games, or "hanging out" with friends, or... Kids have more time now to develop a pattern of daily quiet-times with God than they ever will!
The Solution: God delights in His children! He is eager to meet with us-and He wants us to seek Him. The Lord made us for Himself. Therefore, no human being can afford to neglect pursuing God as his or her utmost priority. Daily quiet-times are the most effective way to nourish our relationship with God.
What You Can Do: Help your kids schedule five to fifteen minutes each day to meet with God. Although they may object at first, soon they will look forward to each opportunity to enjoy the Lord's fellowship. To promote conversation, your entire family may want to follow the same devotional guide or Bible reading schedule. Make personal quiet-times with God a priority-for you and your children.
