Psalm 8:1: The God Who Made the Sky Knows Your Name
Psalm 8:1 shows kids that the God who fills the sky with majesty also knows their name and watches over them as they sleep.
For Parents
Bedtime is when big feelings and big questions tend to surface, and sometimes a child wonders whether they really matter. This episode uses Psalm 8:1 to show them that the same God who fills the whole sky with stars also knows their name and stays close while they sleep. It pairs how huge God is with how personal He is. Tonight, step outside or look out a window with your child, notice how big the sky is, and remind them the One who made it knows them by name.
