There are lots of stories to be found in the Bible that will positively influence how we deal with life's issues. One very effective and exciting tool to assist in growing up kids is the use of short bible stories for children. These stories teach Biblical principles, morals and values that would not be possible to teach by any other method.
The Bible instructs us in Proverbs 7:1-3 that we are to keep the words of God and store up His commands within ourselves. It further admonishes us that in order to live, we should keep His commands, and follow his teachings lovingly; bind them to our fingers, and write them on the tablet of our hearts. It is by the process of continuously retelling of stories in the Bible and tales that teach Biblical morals and values to our kids that we can assist them to inscribe the Bible's truths on the tablets of their hearts.
There are many tales in the Bible which can be used to explain any subject by adapting them into short tales that would be suitable for kids. A starting point would be to find out which values, morals, and lessons that you may wish to impart. This would serve as a guide for you as you compose it to meet the learning capacity and knowledge level of the children.
As an example, you could choose one of the stories to illustrate the value of reconciliation and forgiveness. One of the Bible stories that would best suit this scenario would be the story of the Prodigal Son. You could write about his experiences after he left his father's house, especially the difficulties he faced and how he suffered in the difficult world outside. He was forced to realize his mistakes and beg his father for forgiveness.
Another tale would be that of the Beatitudes. From the many moral lessons it contains, you could focus on 'the Blessed are the Pure of Heart'. Children are the readership here, and in attempting to imbue Biblical values we should utilize the ones that are easily understood by them. Kids can be instructed on the significance of possessing a heart that is pure. If sin is harboured in someone's heart, God's presence wouldn't be there, and their supplications would not be heard.
Also, the importance of patience can be taught with the help of a Bible story. One tale from the Bible that illustrates this well is the story of Sarah. When teaching the attribute of patience, we should be careful to emphasize that God is punctual not slow. When we pray we should wait for His answer to come back to us.
A great way of making kids obey those in authority in church, at school, or where they live, is through teaching them the value of obedience. This value can be imparted by using the tale of the man's downfall in the Garden of Eden.
If Adam and Eve had been obedient to God's instructions and not eat the deadly fruit, they would still be living in the Garden of Eden. Because the disobeyed, however, they were cast out and cut off from the blessings that God had provided for them. The lesion to be learnt is that in order to receive God's blessing you need to be obedient to God's laws.
