Tonight's family reading · Karonga
The Walls of Jericho — a 5-minute devotion for Karonga families
Joshua 6 · Trusting instructions that look strange
God's instructions made no military sense: walk around the city once a day for six days, then seven times on the seventh, and shout. They did it. The walls fell outward.
Families in Karonga tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Joshua 6 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
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.”Joshua 1:9
Table question
What is one thing God asks of us that feels strange but worth trying?
30-second prayer
Lord, we like plans that make sense. Help us trust yours when they do not. 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 trusting instructions that look strange is something you practise, not something you know.
Tomorrow: Rahab's red cord (Joshua 2). 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?
