Using This Family Devotional
You may want to print this daily devotional and keep it in a binder for easy use. Or you can save it to a laptop, tablet, phone, or other device to view it digitally with your children. You will also need a Bible to complete each daily devotional page, so be sure to have a copy of God’s Word on hand as you get started. As you spend two days (one page per day) enjoying the lesson for each topic, you will lead your children through several simple and fun activities each day. Here’s a closer look at what to expect in your daily devotions.
Introduction
Each part of the fruit of the Spirit is introduced with a brief devotional for you to read together. This introduction includes a definition and suggested motions that you can do together to help the children remember a truth about that aspect of the fruit of the Spirit. This is a good place to use the printable teaching poster to help you introduce new concepts to the children.
Key Verse
There is a key verse suggested to emphasize each part of the fruit of the Spirit along with a simple game to help children begin learning the verse as you repeat it over and over again in a fun way. Help the children find and read this key verse in their Bibles. Perhaps even underline and bookmark the verse for easy review. This section also includes references for additional key verses that you can read and discuss with the children to help them understand what the Bible says about the fruit of the Spirit and how God grows this fruit in our lives.
Praise & Worship
Each day there is a song recommended for you to listen to and sing together as you praise God for his work in your lives. For maximum effect, don’t just listen to these songs once, sing along to them as you go through your day to focus your heart and mind on God. (See Spotify and YouTube playlists for family use below. For classroom/group use, you must use the website link provided with each song to obtain proper permissions to use the song in a group setting. )
Scripture Reading
God’s Word shows us the fruit of the Spirit in action! There are suggested Bible passages for you to read, act out, and discuss together as you look for examples of the fruit of the Spirit in the pages of Scripture. If you’re teaching several children, they could each take turns reading several verses from the Bible. Young children can act out what’s happening in the Scripture passage. Ask the children how these verses show the parts of the fruit of the Spirit you are learning about that day.
Discussion Time
Discussion questions will help you guide conversations about the Spirit’s work with your children. Often, these questions will highlight Bible events or gospel truths that emphasize the characteristic of the Spirit’s fruit that you’re learning about. You may want to let children decorate the coloring page for the corresponding fruit as you discuss the questions together. If desired, this can also be a fun time to serve a simple snack for the children to enjoy while you talk with them about ways God helps us grow the fruit of the Spirit in our daily lives.
Activity
Your focus on each characteristic of the fruit of the Spirit will finish with a play-based activity to help children respond in an interactive way to what they’ve learned about God’s work in their lives. Some of these activities will require common household items as supplies, so make sure to read through this section and prepare what you need ahead of time. It is recommended that you also end each daily devotion with prayer. Lead by example in prayerfully worshiping God for who he is and how he works in your lives, but be sure to also encourage children to talk with God for themselves.
