Genesis 11:18

Genesis 11:18

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

The Babel division is in the past. The genealogy presses on — the line that will lead to Abraham moving steadily forward through each generation.

Memory phrase: After every division, God brings new life.

Talk about it: Does your family ever have disagreements or divisions? How do you move forward from them?

Prayer: God, even after divisions and confusions, You bring new life. Thank You that Your story never ends.
