Teaching your child to trust the Word of the Lord
Just as the people of Israel had fallen away from serving the one true
living God, so are many falling away today. How do we keep our children
from doing the same? We teach them through stories such as this one
about Elijah, the prophet. His stand to remain faithful to the Lord amid
a nation that had turned to worshipping idols will instill purpose in
the heart of your child to do the same.
Additionally, new understanding of the rewards of obeying the word of
the Lord will be gained as your child reads about the widow who made the
difficult decision to use her last bit of flour and oil to bake a little
cake for Elijah first.
