locust in Psalms 109
LOH-kust
This creature shows up in Psalms 109:23: “I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Psalms 109:23
“I fade away like an evening shadow. I am shaken off like a locust.”
What kids can learn
When you hear locust in Psalms, remember the sentence around it. God put this creature in the story on purpose.
Read Psalms 109:23 again tomorrow and ask what the creature is doing in the sentence, not only what it looks like.
