Tonight's family reading · Tarakan
The Sower and the Soil — a 5-minute devotion for Tarakan families
Mark 4:1-20 · Tending the soil, not just the seed
A farmer scattered seed on a path, on rocks, among thorns and on good soil. The same seed did four different things. Jesus said the difference was never the seed — it was the ground it landed on.
Parents in Tarakan often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Mark 4:1-20 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "tending the soil, not just the seed" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“Still others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop.”Mark 4:20
Table question
What are the thorns that choke out quiet time in our week?
30-second prayer
God, pull up the thorns in our schedule. Make our house good soil. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Tarakan tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Still others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: the mustard seed (Mark 4:30-32). 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?
