Teaching Kids About God’s Work

FLOYD ROGERS

Teaching children about God’s work in people’s lives is an important responsibility for every believer. A meaningful way to do this is by exploring stories from the Old Testament together. Parents and guardians can guide young people through the lives of figures like Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Daniel, David, Joseph, and Joshua. These stories show how God acted in their situations, offering lessons about trust, obedience, and faith.

Spiritual growth does not happen by staying comfortable. God allows challenges and trials in order to strengthen faith and deepen understanding. No matter where someone is in their walk with God, they can expect their commitment to be tested. These tests are not meant to harm, but to help people learn more about themselves and about God’s nature.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

Proverbs 3:5-6
