12 By day you led them with a pillar of cloud, and by night with a pillar of fire to give them light on the way they were to take.Дў8 He redeemed my soul from going down to the pit, and I will live to enjoy the light.вЂ™Д¦ Many are asking, вЂњWho can show us any good?вЂќ Let the light of your face shine upon us, O LORD.Дў8 You, O LORD, keep my lamp burning my God turns my darkness into light.Д© For with you is the fountain of life in your light we see light.ДЈ Send forth your light and your truth, let them guide me let them bring me to your holy mountain, to the place where you dwell.ДЎ2 I am under vows to you, O God I will present my thank offerings to you. It should be a very brilliant reminder of how God came to divide the light from darkness.Дў9 You are my lamp, O LORD the LORD turns my darkness into light.ДЎ1 You divided the sea before them, so that they passed through it on dry ground, but you hurled their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into mighty waters. Before they know it, the room will be ablaze with GodвЂ™s glorious luminance. After reading it, let him choose to вЂњturn onвЂќ one of the lights in the room. Ask a child to come up and pick a Scripture out of the bucket and have him read it. When we choose not to let His light shine in our lives, we live in darkness.ДЄt this point, turn off all of the lights except maybe one that you are holding. As the children arrive to class or for your devotion time at home, tell them that they are going to learn more about GodвЂ™s light and how He wants each of us to walk in His light and truth. You could pick out the ones you particularly like and write them out on index cards. I have supplied you with a long list at the end of the newsletter.

Next, pick some Scriptures all about GodвЂ™s light. Have several types around your classroom or room at home. The first thing you want to do is acquire different kinds of light, say flashlights, Christmas Tree lights (before you put them away!), candles of different sorts (be careful around the kids!) or even those neon sticks you can buy at party stores that glow in the dark. So, this Bible activity is in tribute to our Lord who shines light into our darkness and to this family whom I love very much.Д«ible lessons for kids will help your children hide GodвЂ™s Word in their hearts and for this one you will need to do the following: The couple I just mentioned is so aware now of wanting GodвЂ™s light and truth in their lives and home that they literally light candles around their house to remind them of this amazing truth: God is light (I John 1:5). Genesis 1:4 says, вЂњAnd God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.вЂќ God does not want any of His children to walk in the dark and yet thatвЂ™s where sin takes us if we let it. They are now allowing GodвЂ™s light to shine in their lives and are an amazing testimony of His love and restoration.

Yesterday, I had the great privilege of spending time with a couple who have just come out of a very вЂњdarkвЂќ time. The Scripture Lady loves creating Bible lessons for kids! Here is one called вЂњLet There Be LightвЂќ to help learnВ about GodвЂ™s light.
