JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN

Psalm 78:4-7
We will tell the next generation
The praiseworthy deeds of the Lord,
His power, and the wonders he has done...
Then they would put their trust in God
And would not forget His deeds
But would keep His commands.

Christmas is only a short time away. How many children today will know, realize and celebrate it as a day to Thank the Lord for His only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ?

It is quite true that we do not know the day of His birth, nor does the Bible tell us to celebrate His birth. What the Bible does tell us is that the angels sang in the heavenly sky's and came and told people so they could go praise Him, and bring Him gifts. Why should we do any less? How do we include Christ in our day? What gifts does He have for us?

The following scriptures are good to share with our children on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Maybe this might be a new tradition to share each Christmas.

Matt 6:13 God will deliver them from evil
Ps 91:11 the Lord has commanded His angels to guard them in all their ways
Isa 54:13 that they will be taught of the Lord and that their peace shall be great
Prov 13:20 they will choose companions that are wise
Eph 6:1-3 they will honor their parents
Jer 29:11 they will fulfill the plans of the Lord for their life, to give them hope and a future
Heb 5:14 They will train themselves to discern good from evil and have a good conscience toward God.
3 John 2 they will enjoy good health and all will go well with them, spiritually and physically
Luke 2:52 they will grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and the people their life's touch
Dan 1:4 like David they will show aptitude for every kind of learning be well informed, quick to understand, and qualified to serve
1 Kings 4:29 they, like Solomon, will have wisdom and great insight, and a breadth of understanding as measureless as the sand on the seashore

Just a start, but these promises stand today for our children and us also. Gifts from the King for us all to share.

God Bless
