The God of Wow - A Family Devotion Series from Psalm 104

It can be exciting and frightening as a parent to try to lead your family in a devotion time. Despite the apprehension, it is thoroughly worthwhile to forge this habit into your family life.

To that end, here is a link to a family devotion series I led my family through. 

"The Gift of Natural Worship" (Psalm 104)

"The Gift of Natural Worship" does not mean learning to worship nature. However, it does mean learning to enjoy and worship the One, True God by being amazed at His creation. This study allowed us as a family to worship God together by exploring exciting subjects our kids already enjoy. 

We spent about 10 minutes each night for a week working through Psalm 104. It worked well to have a laptop so that the youtube videos could be played as part of the devotion time. Each night we sang "Bless the Lord, O My Soul" or "10,000 Reasons" by Matt Redman. Psalm 104 begins and ends with "bless the Lord, O My Soul," so it was a fitting song to help us remember what we learned in the psalm.

This study covers themes like:

- What is a soul? Learning to praise God with all of me.

- What is God's glory? Being amazed at God's glorious light.

- Why did God make the night? Learning about nocturnal creatures.

- What are some amazing aspects of God maintaining Creation? Looking closely at storms and volcanoes.

- What are some incredible creatures God sustains? Looking at krill, sperm whales, and Leviathan.

- Who decides when someone or something dies? Looking at death and previewing heaven and hell.
