Victor Discovers Treasure: 45 Daily Devotional Digs For Kids

Where do people search for treasure? Deep underwater in old dusty mines in the mountains even under an old tree on a deserted island. Pirates bad guys and even fun-loving little boys bury treasure. To find it you need a special treasure map.The Bible is Gods treasure map. Our reward; our gold is living in heaven with Him someday. But sometimes we need help reading the map and understanding its mystery language. When adults say light as a feather or strong as an ox we know what they mean. It is very clear that something doesnt weigh very much or that it is very strong. When the Bible speaks in mystery language it may not be so obvious. Why are we called a pot a sheep or a branch? Why is Jesus called a Potter a Shepherd a Vine or even a Ladder?These 45 daily digs into Gods Word give kids some of the clues and discoveries they need to reach lifes reward (their treasure) with God the Father someday. Since a donkey is mentioned more than 100 times in the Bible it is part of the fun and adventure to have Victor help us out. Discovery involves searching exploring digging and finding something good! The Bible is full of word treasure-clues; words that put a picture in our minds to make our journey on this earth a discovery of truth.Adults call Bible word treasures metaphors similes and imagery. Its called freedom language in Romans 6:19 from the Message. Paul says Im using this freedom language because it is easy to picture. After each daily dig there is a list of the Bible verses where the clues can be found. BUT... you have to Dig Deeper in the back of the book to find out exactly what those verses say. The versions chosen enable young children to understand. There is also an interactive activity that parents and grandparents can help with.
