Young children often have a very strong sense of justice and tend to get very emotional when they feel they have been wronged. Be sympathetic and remind your child that he belongs to God, who has his best in mind. Discuss with your child the injustices she sees in the world around her. What areas move her? Encourage her and help her think of some ways she can be a light in those dark areas. Work alongside her as she ﬁnds her identity in Christ. date: Just for Fun Talk with your kids about things they feel are unjust or unfair. Help them to understand that God is fair and just. Although things aren’t always just and fair here on earth, God will make all things right and new. Remind your kids we live in a broken world. Talk about how God might use your family to help change some things that feel broken. Read Habakkuk 3. Share that even though God’s plans involving the Babylonians surprised Habakkuk, he still trusted God. Habakkuk knew God was just and in control. © 2013 David C Cook.
