Read
Here are some verses for your family to read about creation giving glory to their Creator:
Psalms 19 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4 Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, 5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy. 6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them, and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Discuss
Ask younger kids specific questions about the story or to retell the story. Ask older kids critical thinking questions. Here are a few suggestions:
What is praising God in this Psalm?
What beautiful pictures can you see as you listen to this?
How can you praise God, just as creation praises God?
Pray
Lead your family in a time of prayer over what you read.
Consider the ACTS model (Adoration- Adore or praise God, Confession- Confess sin, Thanksgiving- Thank God, and Supplication- Ask God to supply your needs)
Today we will focus on A-Adore: Heavenly Father we ADORE You for your wonderful works! Your creation praises you with its beauty. You are a wonderful creator! Thank you for giving us reminders of how glorious you are all around is, in all that you created! We want to praise you! Help us to do that with our whole life. We love you Lord! In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
