Tonight's family reading · Zarqa
Jonah and the Second Chance — a 5-minute devotion for Zarqa families
Jonah 1-3 · God's second chances
Jonah was sent to a city he did not like, so he sailed the opposite way. A storm, a fish and three dark days later, he was back on the shore — and the word of the Lord came to him a second time.
Parents in Zarqa often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Jonah 1-3 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "god's second chances" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.”Jonah 3:1
Table question
Where do you need a second chance — and who could you give one to?
30-second prayer
God, thank you for second chances. Help us hand them out as freely as we take them. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Zarqa tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: Jonah under the vine (Jonah 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?
