Description

Connect with your kids during a special time thinking about God as our fortress and place of safety.

God is our fortress. God is our place of safety.

That word fortress is like a mountain castle that protects you.

A place of safety is like shelter, or a place of hope.

God is like a mountain castle that protects you. He shelters you from storms. He is a place of hope.

When you are near God, when you read His true words in the Bible and spend time talking to Him, He is like a fortress surrounding you and protecting you. 

Verses:

Live under the protection of God Most High and stay in the shadow of God All-Powerful. Then you will say to the LORD, “You are my fortress, my place of safety; you are my God, and I trust you.”

 Psalm 91:1-2 (CEV)

Ask Your Kids:

• What is a fortress?
• How has God protected you?
• What is one way you can trust God right now?

Engage Your Kids:

• Make a fort out of blankets, chairs, pillows, etc.
• Throw some soft things at your kids while they are in their fort.
• Talk about how their fort protected them, which is like how God protects us when we are near Him.
