Matthew 9:8

Matthew 9:8

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

The crowd's response was right and proper: they glorified God. Even if they did not yet understand the full extent of who Jesus was, they recognised that God was at work through Him.

Memory phrase: Glorify God for His power

Talk about it: The crowd glorified God when they saw the miracle. When something good happens, do you remember to thank God?

Prayer: God, when I see something amazing, help me remember to give You the glory. You are the source of all good things.
