Tonight's family reading · Gaborone
David and the Giant — a 5-minute devotion for Gaborone families
1 Samuel 17 · Courage that comes from God, not size
An army stood frozen for forty days while a giant shouted at them. A shepherd boy walked out with a sling and five smooth stones, saying the battle belonged to God. One stone was enough.
Families in Gaborone tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read 1 Samuel 17 out loud while the plates are still down, ask the question once, and let the youngest answer first. It takes about five minutes and it does not need anyone to have prepared.
Memory verse
“The battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands.”1 Samuel 17:47
Table question
What is the giant you are most afraid of right now — and who is standing with you?
30-second prayer
God, the thing I am scared of looks much bigger than me. Remind me tonight that the battle is yours. Amen.
Make it stick: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in 1 Samuel 17 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
Tomorrow: David and Jonathan become friends (1 Samuel 18:1-4). 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?
