Part of my son’s bedtime routine involves reading a book of his choosing, sometimes singing a song, and always closing with prayer. Well tonight, the
book he selected was his Bible. When he selected it, he said: Mommy, I want to respect God and I want to praise the Lord.
He then proceeded to open it and find the page he wanted to read. He began to read from Psalm 22, but specifically two verses — 9 and 10. After the reading of the Word, I said “Amen”.
He then began to sing, ‘Jesus Loves Me’ and then ended with a prayer asking God to help him rest and have a great day tomorrow.
Not often am I rendered speechless.
In this moment, I’m truly in awe of the power and the promise of God. I’m reminded of the honor bestowed upon me to ‘train up a child in the way he should go’ so that as he grows older, he will not depart from it.
I am so full. So completely full.
Thank You, Lord.
