Over time the Lord has taken children into account, because it is important to instruct children in the Word of God, today we teach you how to prepare devotionals for young and old children.
devotionals for children
We need to define what a devotional is: it's a time dedicated to communion with God, to listen and talk. Children deserve attention, so I invite you to read the next topic: Prayer for Children, a Habit to Cultivate.
In the Bible, Moses told Israel to teach your children in the regular rhythms of life, that is, when you go to sleep, when you eat.
Deuteronomy 6: 7
7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
Steps for a children's devotional
Among the steps for a devotional for children we have:
Find a time slot that works
You should start with something simple, easy to catch the little one. For example, reading part of a story or saying a sentence. The main thing is to be constant, and not to despair of the children trying to reunite the family every day.
read something natural
It is important and necessary to keep a short and understandable routine, since they need to handle the simplest terms of the Word, such as the name of Jesus, prayer, promise and sin.
Talk to the Lord
In principle we must bow our heads, close our eyes, it is important that the children hold hands, to avoid hitting each other. It must be fast and noticeable; according to their age.
use music to learn
You should always take into account the way your children are, to play music appropriate to their age and tastes. These days there is a lot of variety.
Give your children quality care
The moment you use for the devotional, apart from using it for the purpose of providing information to the children, is a time to share with them, look into their eyes, know that you listen to them and show affection.
