Tonight's family reading · Kalutara
Paul and Silas Sing in Prison — a 5-minute devotion for Kalutara 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.
Families in Kalutara tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Acts 16:16-34 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
“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: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in Acts 16:16-34 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
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?
