I have a daydream of my little girl running around quoting John 3:16 in between singing the ABCs.
So, I want to write a book. Actually, not write it, just plagiarize the Bible.
In this book, I want to organize Bible verses for my children to commit to memory. For we know that "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." II Timothy 3:16-17
I hope for my children to develop a conscience framed by God's Word (rather than this world) well before they begin to understand the words themselves. "Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it." Joshua 1:8
Or should I say, I would like them to internalize scripture before they grow up and forget their awesome understanding of God's Love. ""I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3-4
Here are some verse ideas I have so far (ordered only in the sequence they came to me, and probably more for me at 32 years old rather than my little girl):
James 1:19-20
Psalm 23
Ephesians 6:1-3 (but not 4 :) )
Ephesians 6:10-20
Philippians 4:4-8
Exodus 20:1-17
1 Corinthians 13:1-8
Matthew 5:3-12
Pray on it and post your suggestions.
