Tonight's family reading · Hatta
Jonah and the Second Chance — a 5-minute devotion for Hatta families
Jonah 1-3 · God's second chances
Jonah was sent to a city he did not like, so he sailed the opposite way. A storm, a fish and three dark days later, he was back on the shore — and the word of the Lord came to him a second time.
Use this one on the Hatta weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Jonah 1-3, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
Memory verse
“Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.”Jonah 3:1
Table question
Where do you need a second chance — and who could you give one to?
30-second prayer
God, thank you for second chances. Help us hand them out as freely as we take them. Amen.
Make it stick: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that god's second chances is something you practise, not something you know.
Tomorrow: Jonah under the vine (Jonah 4). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
