This week your preschoolers learned about King Josiah. People had stopped going to church and the temple had become worn down. King Josiah had the temple cleaned up and repaired. While they were cleaning people found Bible scrolls hidden. King Josiah and the people were excited to read God's word and learn about what God wanted them to do. (2 Kings 22:1-2)
As I sit here at my desk I can count 3 different Bibles within arms length of me, but it becomes very easy for them to get lost under piles of paper and to do lists. Do you ever feel like the Bible gets lost in your home? Do you run around on Sunday mornings looking for the place you dropped it off the week before?
At only 8 years old King Josiah found a love for God's Word and wanted to share the excitement with the people around him. I encourage you to "find the Bible" this week. Have some family devotion time. This time doesn't have to be 30 minutes of teaching, but can be reading a simple story from a Bible Storybook and praying together.
