Tonight's family reading · St. Thomas
Bartimaeus Shouts Louder — a 5-minute devotion for St. Thomas families
Mark 10:46-52 · Ask for what you actually want
A blind beggar heard Jesus was passing and started shouting. The crowd told him to be quiet, so he shouted louder. Jesus stopped the whole procession and asked him one question: what do you want me to do for you?
If mornings are the only quiet minutes your St. Thomas household gets, use this before the school run. Read Mark 10:46-52, say the verse once in the car, and come back to the question on the way home. Repetition is doing the work, not length.
Memory verse
“What do you want me to do for you?”Mark 10:51
Table question
If Jesus asked you that tonight, what would you say?
30-second prayer
Jesus, here is what we actually want. Thank you that you stop and ask. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in St. Thomas — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. Ask for what you actually want only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17-27). 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?
