Looking for some new bible verses to share with your kids? We have a couple of underrated Bible stories they should know.
Some Bible events and stories are familiar, while others are often overlooked. Here are two that fit in that category.
The story of Lot Moving Away
In Genesis chapter 13 we read about the parting of Abraham and his nephew Lot because wealth and possessions got in the way of their relationship. Read on into chapter 14 and you’ll discover that Lot moved into Sodom and when war came to the land, enemies carried Lot and his family and possessions away. Abraham came to his rescue.
It’s easy to get caught up in focusing on money and stuff more than people. God wants us to keep relationships strong, and that may mean giving away items when we own too much.
The story of Hard-working Ruth
The book of Ruth contains some great lessons and shares part of the lineage of Jesus. Ruth, a very poor widow, stayed faithful to Naomi, her widowed mother-in-law. Ruth worked hard to feed both of them. She gleaned in fields owned by Boaz; who later married Ruth. The story reminds us that we can go through hard times and trust God for our future.
And The Lost Book
At age 18, after King Josiah had the land and temple cleaned. While carrying out their tasks the high priests found the book of the law. When Josiah heard God’s Word, he worked to change the hearts of people, so they would obey God.
Josiah reminds us that God’s word is important and we should always remember to read and follow it.
