Verse to GO!

Proverbs 12:22 (NLT)

Today’s Bible memory verse is Proverbs 12:22. Say the memory verse slowly.

”The LORD detests lying lips, but He delights in those who tell the truth.”

The word detest means to hate or dislike something very, very much.

When you delight in something it means that it brings you happiness and joy.

Let’s learn this verse together with some actions.

Stand facing the children and lead them to repeat phrases and imitate the motions.

The Lord…. point to sky.

Detests lying lips…. shake head no, point both index fingers to lips.

But He delights … make a big smile and applaud.

In those who tell the truth…. Place hand over heart and nod head yes.

Repeat slowly a few more times.

God hates lies but when you are honest, it brings Him happiness and joy. Raise your hand if you want to delight God every day! Raise your hand with children.

Note: Preschool children may not be able to memorize the entire verse. They may simply repeat it with you. Be sure all children understand its meaning.
