Family Home Evening for Come Follow Me 7/20 for Kids

Song

Standing on the Promises (Hymns For Home and Church #1023)

Scripture

2 Chronicles 20:1–25

Lesson

  • What did King Jehoshaphat do when multiple nations came to attack Judah? How could you apply his actions in the challenging circumstances you face?
  • The Lord’s response to Jehoshaphat’s prayer is found in verses 14–17. What phrases do you find there that could comfort you or someone you know during difficult times?
  • How has God blessed you for believing in Him and following His prophets?
  • President Russell M. Nelson said: “My experience is that once you stop putting question marks behind the prophet’s statements and put exclamation points instead, and do it, the blessings just pour. I never ask myself, ‘When does the prophet speak as a prophet and when does he not?’ My interest has been, ‘How can I be more like him?’” (in Lane Johnson, “Russell M. Nelson: A Study in Obedience,” Ensign, Aug. 1982, 24).

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the Lord will be with you.
