Summer Bible Study for Kids with National Bible Bee

One of our close ministry partners, National Bible Bee, is getting ready to launch their Summer Study program, and we wanted you to know about it.

You may be familiar with National Bible Bee’s Scripture memorization competition. However, you may not be familiar with their 8-week Summer Study that launches kids on a journey to dive deep into the Scriptures. This summer’s theme is “Trust,” and it begins on June 1. The National Bible Bee’s Summer Study is an absolutely wonderful program that we wholeheartedly recommend!

What is very special about the Summer Study is that National Bible Bee integrates Blue Letter Bible as the key study tool for kids to use throughout the curriculum.

Discover Treasury of David, Spurgeon’s Work on the Book of Psalms

One of the treasures found on BLB is Charles Spurgeon’s Treasury of David. This classic work on the Psalms was written in the 19th Century by Charles Spurgeon, and is rich with exposition and application.

Psalm 91 may be a wonderful place to begin, with its application to our global pandemic today. Early in his ministry in London, Spurgeon was confronted with ministering amidst the Asiatic cholera, which led him to visit the sick and daily attend to graveside care. He said,

“A little more work and weeping would have laid me low among the rest; I felt that my burden was heavier than I could bear, and I was ready to sink under it.”

Spurgeon shared that he was confronted with Psalm 91:9–10 at that time, and in his commentary, Spurgeon went on to say,

“It is impossible that any ill should happen to the man who is beloved of the Lord; the most crushing calamities can only shorten his journey and hasten him to his reward. Ill to him is no ill, but only good in a mysterious form. Losses enrich him, sickness is his medicine, reproach is his honour, death is his gain. No evil in the strict sense of the word can happen to him, for everything is overruled for good. Happy is he who is in such a case. He is secure where others are in peril, he lives where others die.”

Find this and many other treasures as you meditate on Psalms with Spurgeon’s Treasury of David.
