This week we will be dealing with the question of "Who is God?" with your kids. I know what you may be thinking...can my kid understand that? Our approach to answer this question is not to try to answer it in an exhaustive way, especially since it's impossible to exhaustively explain an infinite God. So we're going to focus on one part of the answer from the Bible...there is only one God.
In Exodus 3 Moses encounters God in the burning bush and is called by God to go lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. As a part Moses' encounter with God, Moses asks God, "who shall I say has sent me?" God's reply is, "I AM WHO I AM." Simply put this is God's definitive statement that He is the one true God of the universe and that He has always been.
Do you parent under this truth? What I mean to say is do you see your tasks as a parent as your calling from the only God of the universe? At this point you may be flying through this email so slow down and pray! Interrupt your moment to pray that God would remind you of your call and pray a prayer of praise because God has chosen you to lead your children out of the death and slavery found in sin and into the life and freedom of Jesus Christ.
