Genesis 9:24

Genesis 9:24

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Noah was fully aware of what had happened — both the dishonor and the honor. Our choices do not go unnoticed. The way we treat others, especially in their vulnerable moments, is seen and known.

Memory phrase: Our choices are always seen.

Talk about it: Did Noah know what each of his sons had chosen to do? What does that tell you about your own choices?

Prayer: God, help me to make good choices even when no one seems to be watching.
