Day 10 – Offerings and Murder

Memory Verse: God displayed His power in creation. He showed He had a plan in how it was done. Remind your children that we are the culmination of His creation. God’s image plays an important role in how we treat our fellow man because they are made in the same image.

Genesis 4:1-12
Adam and Eve have two sons. One becomes a farmer and the other becomes a shepherd. When it was time to give and offering to God, Abel brought his best and Cain brought just some of his produce. The difference here is one brought their best while the other just brought the normal every day stuff. We need to teach our kids young that God wants our best. He doesn’t want second best.

From here God warns against having the wrong attitude towards Him. Doing so provides the potential for sin. And since Cain failed to take God’s warning he ended up killing his own brother in cold blood. How dangerous is our heart and sin when we reject the warnings of God?

It is a tuff lesson for our children. Death, Murder, Sin. But God wants to warn us early on that we need to fear sin and seek him or else we can go down the wrong path with dire consequences. Let your children know that God desires us to seek Him with the right attitude.

By now I hope you have been enjoying your singing time. There are so many great songs for Kids as well as praise songs and Hymns one can be singing as a family. Enjoy this time and revel in it. If you can play an instrument, then you might try and lead your family in worship with that instrument. What can be better in the ears of God than a family singing together?
