Tonight's family reading · Alajuela
David and the Giant — a 5-minute devotion for Alajuela 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.
This works best in Alajuela as a bedtime reading. Lights low, 1 Samuel 17 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "courage that comes from god, not size"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
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: let a child read 1 Samuel 17 out loud tomorrow instead of you. Reading it to the family is worth ten times hearing it.
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?
