Psalm 16:6 | God Gave You a Good Place
This episode helps a child feel thankful that God placed them in their home and life on purpose.
For Parents
Children do not often pause to feel thankful for the ordinary, their bed, their roof, the people down the hall. Tonight's verse, Psalm 16:6, helps them look around their own room and see that God placed them there on purpose, in a good spot. As you tuck them in, you might name one thing about home you are both thankful for and say a quiet thank You together. Then let them drift off knowing they belong right where they are. Goodnight.

What does Psalm 16:6 mean for kids?
In Psalm 16:6 David looks at where God placed him and says his boundary lines fell in pleasant places, meaning God gave him a good spot (Psalm 16:6). Your child can look at their bed, their roof, and the people down the hall the same way, because God placed them there on purpose and they belong right where they are.
