My daughter has a new favorite song. I can’t say I’m a fan of the tune. It’s not exactly catchy and the harmony could use some bolstering. But I will say that I love the lyrics: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13.
Yup, the newest hit tune around here, besides a newfound and apparently insatiable appetite for anything by the Newsboys, is our latest memory verse. I am so intensely proud of my kids for memorizing the word of God. They know six verses now and we review them regularly, adding new ones as they solidify the old. This latest verse is the first I’ve set to a tune, but I’ve been delighted with how quickly they picked it up and how much they enjoy reciting it back to me.
It is difficult to underestimate the importance of filling our children’s minds with the word of God from an early age. There’s certainly no shortage of other information filtering its way into their hungry little brains.
