In this weekly devotion, the family will share more about how they understand the power of Christ in relation to the passage in this devotion. Here children will be encouraged not to despair even at difficult situations since as Christ supplied water in the wilderness to the Israelites so is the same that, in all their lives they should focus and hope on Christ who is always watching and ready to help once we call on him.
