Breastplate. Righteousness. Two pretty large words for little minds but these next two weeks we get to breakdown what they mean! The breastplate protects our heart and vital organs, I would say it’s pretty important! I love the idea of hiding the truths we learned from last in our hearts and having the breastplate protect our hearts and those truths from the lies of this world.

Righteousness is goodness. Only Jesus was perfectly good and sinless, because He died on the cross for us, God sees us through Jesus’ eyes. He only sees us through the eyes of righteousness, we are good in His sight even though we are sinners. Because of that truth we have the power to make good and kind choices! I try to stay away from encouraging children to “be good,” rather I encourage them to make good and kind choices because God sees us as good/righteous. I remind them they have the power to decide to make a good choice!

Have fun!
