Hearing the Word of God

These days my quiet times start out . . . quiet.  Alone – well, with Ruth and my Brickhouse Coffee.

But as the digital clock displays 7:00 (and the magical alligators disappear from the hallway), little feet begin to creep down the stairs.  Eyes accustomed to darkness, squint with the minimal light that I have on to read my Bible. 

Instead of getting up even earlier just to be alone, I have decided to embrace this somewhat interrupted time.  To use it to bless my children – to train them up in the way they should go. 

To teach them how to have a quiet time.  To answer questions they have when they read or listen to their Bible. 

In Romans 10:17,  the Bible says,

So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

And so, Ezra has been doing just that – hearing the Word of God. 

However, Asher, Gabe, Naomi and I have also been privy to this audible reading of the Word of God.  We have been listening to Matthew using my Audible App.

To help Ezra feel a sense of accomplishment and to give him a visible map, I created a very simple check off page. 

I thought it just might benefit you.

How have you been teaching your child to spend time daily with God?
