Tonight's family reading · Debre Markos
Gideon's Small Army — a 5-minute devotion for Debre Markos families
Judges 7 · God shrinks the odds on purpose
Gideon had thirty-two thousand men. God said it was too many, and cut the army to three hundred — armed with trumpets, jars and torches. The victory could belong to nobody but God.
This works best in Debre Markos as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Judges 7 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "god shrinks the odds on purpose"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“You have too many men. Israel would boast against me.”Judges 7:2
Table question
When has something gone right in a way you could not take credit for?
30-second prayer
God, you do not need our numbers. Use our small offering however you like. Amen.
Make it stick: let a child read Judges 7 out loud tomorrow instead of you. Reading it to the family is worth ten times hearing it.
Tomorrow: Gideon's fleece (Judges 6:36-40). 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?
