As I was in the word, a memory came to me about my granddaughter. This was almost 10 years ago. She was about six years old. It was Thanksgiving day and while the preparations for the day went on for us earlier in the day, I had my laptop computer out on the table where I had my Bible software up on it. The family arrived and it was still sitting out on the table.
My granddaughter had walked over to the table where her mom was sitting in front of the laptop. She asked her mother what was on the computer. She was familiar with the Bible as they were raised in the Lord and it was used at home, but she had never seen it on computer. Her mother explained it was the Bible and explained what the different areas were on the screen. One of those areas was results of a word search I had done.
I was in the kitchen working but could hear the conversation. She then asked her mother if she could put a word in the search. Her mom asked her what word did she want to type in on the search. She said “Obedience”. I was shocked to hear such a big word come out of her mouth. She could not even spell it, so her mom spelled the word slowly while she found each letter on the keyboard and entered it one by one.
To her amazement a list of scriptures came up with the word obedience highlighted and her mom started to read them to her. She read the first one or two scriptures and then it was time to eat.
It amazes me still today how the Lord will use a child in things. This was a word I needed to look at, so took it for a word for me also. It applied to things I was doing online. Even today with this coming back to memory I will once again look up the word for review. Yes the Lord can use your children if you are paying attention.
