Tonight's family reading · Jerash
Paul and Silas Sing in Prison — a 5-minute devotion for Jerash families
Acts 16:16-34 · Songs at midnight
Beaten and locked in the inner cell with their feet in stocks, Paul and Silas were singing hymns at midnight. An earthquake shook the doors open — and instead of running, they stayed and the jailer's whole family came to faith.
Parents in Jerash often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Acts 16:16-34 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "songs at midnight" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.”Acts 16:25
Table question
What song could we sing on a hard day?
30-second prayer
God, teach us midnight songs — praise that does not wait for things to improve. Amen.
Make it stick: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that songs at midnight is something you practise, not something you know.
Tomorrow: Lydia by the river (Acts 16:11-15). 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?
