FAMILY DEVOTION: Noah's Ark

Here is a family devotion for the week:
James Evans in his book, Bringing God Home, offers the following idea. Review the story of Noah in Genesis 6:9-22. Ask the children if they know this story. Invite them to tell it or draw a picture about it. Wonder together about what it was like in the Ark with all the animals. Was it scary? What did Noah think and feel? What kinds of prayers do you think Noah said while he waited for the storm to go away? Tell about a time when things were 'stormy' in your life and you had to rely on God. Say a prayer together to thank God for helping us make it through stormy times and giving us hope to believe the storms will end.
