The Boy Who Shared His Lunch — a 5-minute devotion for Miri families
John 6:1-14 · Small offerings in God's hands
A crowd of five thousand people had nothing to eat, and one boy had five small loaves and two fish. He handed over everything he had. Jesus gave thanks, broke the bread, and there was enough for everyone — with twelve baskets left over.
Parents in Miri often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read John 6:1-14 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "small offerings in god's hands" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go among so many?”John 6:9
Table question
What is one small thing you could share this week, even if it feels too small to matter?
30-second prayer
Jesus, what we have feels small. Take it anyway, bless it, and use it to feed someone who is hungry today. 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 small offerings in god's hands is something you practise, not something you know.
Tomorrow: Jesus walks on the water (John 6:16-21). 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?
