READ VERSES ON DIFFERENT SUBJECTS

A good exercise is for a father or mother to read through the book of Proverbs and write each scripture under the appropriate heading, e.g. Diligence, Laziness, Honesty, Purity, Wisdom, Understanding, Handling money matters, Adultery, The fear of the Lord, Companions, and so on. When you have all the scriptures listed under the headings, keep them in a folder. You can then take one of the subjects on the appropriate occasions and read those verses to your children.

THE NAMES OF GOD

As you read the Word of God, look out for all the different names of God. Each name of God reveals another attribute of His character. Write down the name and then under the heading gradually write under it all the scriptures that refer to God as this name, e.g. The Good Shepherd, The Prince of Peace, The Mighty Warrior, Father, The Comforter, Jehovah Jireh, a Good God, the Faithful God, and so on. You can also use the help of a Concordance. When you have a few scriptures under these names, use them to read to your family for a Family Devotion. What a wonderful way to teach your children more of God’s character.
