Tonight's family reading · Gold Coast
Ruth Chooses to Stay — a 5-minute devotion for Gold Coast families
Ruth 1 · Loyalty that costs something
After losing everything, Naomi told her daughters-in-law to go home. Ruth refused, promising to stay with her, in her land, with her God. She walked into a foreign country with nothing but that promise.
This works best in Gold Coast as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Ruth 1 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "loyalty that costs something"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay.”Ruth 1:16
Table question
Who in our family needs you to stay close this week?
30-second prayer
God, make us loyal like Ruth — the kind of people who stay. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Gold Coast tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: Ruth in the harvest field (Ruth 2). 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?
