Hide and Seek

Take about 15 minutes or so to play a game of hide and seek. Then sit down and read Psalm 139 together. If your child is learning to read, point to some of the familiar words (sit, heart, dark, bed, etc.) for them to read out while you are reading the passage. Just like Mom and Dady always find you when playing hide and seek, God knows where we are at all times.

Questions you could ask:

1. Does God know you? How does he know who you are?

2. Did you know that God even knows what you are going to say next? Guess what I'm going to say next.

3. Isn't it wonderful that God knows us so well? We never have to be afraid. 

4. When we make a mistake or do something wrong, do you ever hide it from your mom and dad? God already knows and he can find us, so don't hide it. Be honest about it.

Sing a handful of songs

Pray: We thank you that you made us so wonderfully and you know us inside out. Help us to always tell the truth and to never hide anything from mom and dad. Thank you for always knowing where we are at all times so we never have to feel lost and lonely in this world. 

Comment: If your child easily gets distracted, you don't have to read the entire Psalm. Maybe pick out some key verses that you can use to apply.
