Tonight's family reading · Portoviejo
Joseph Forgives His Brothers — a 5-minute devotion for Portoviejo families
Genesis 45 · What people meant for harm
Sold by his own brothers and imprisoned for years, Joseph ended up second in Egypt. When his brothers arrived starving and did not recognise him, he wept out loud, told them who he was, and fed them.
If mornings are the only quiet minutes your Portoviejo household gets, use this before the school run. Read Genesis 45, 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
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good.”Genesis 50:20
Table question
Is there someone you are still holding something against?
30-second prayer
God, forgiving is hard. Start the work in us tonight, even if it takes a long time. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Portoviejo tomorrow, one person says the first half of "You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: Joseph's dreams as a boy (Genesis 37). 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?
