God's Glory

Parent’s Corner- February 9, 2020

“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

Philippians 2:9-11 ESV

Our children saw God do some pretty amazingly powerful things this week!

He healed a little girl.

He brought Jesus to be with Him in Heaven.

He took Joseph’s terrible circumstance and used it for good.

What other examples of God’s power do you see in Scripture?  Spending time in the Bible as a family could show many of these and provide powerful examples of God’s power and love for us!  Once we see them in the Bible, we may more easily see His work in our lives as well!  What a blessing to share this as a family!
