Tonight's family reading · Machakos
The Lost Sheep — a 5-minute devotion for Machakos families
Luke 15:1-7 · God goes looking for the one
A shepherd had a hundred sheep and one wandered off. He left the ninety-nine on the hills and searched until he found it, then carried it home on his shoulders and called his neighbours to celebrate.
Families in Machakos tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Luke 15:1-7 out loud while the plates are still down, ask the question once, and let the youngest answer first. It takes about five minutes and it does not need anyone to have prepared.
Memory verse
“Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.”Luke 15:6
Table question
When have you felt lost — and who came looking for you?
30-second prayer
Good Shepherd, thank you that you do not give up on anyone. Help us go looking for someone who feels forgotten. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in Machakos — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. God goes looking for the one only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: the lost coin and the father who runs (Luke 15:8-24). 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?
