Tonight's family reading · Palmerston North
The Good Samaritan — a 5-minute devotion for Palmerston North families
Luke 10:25-37 · Love measured in inconvenience
A man was beaten and left at the roadside. Two religious men crossed to the other side. A foreigner — the one nobody expected — stopped, bandaged his wounds, and paid for his care.
If mornings are the only quiet minutes your Palmerston North household gets, use this before the school run. Read Luke 10:25-37, say the verse once in the car, and come back to the question on the way home. Repetition is doing the work, not length.
Memory verse
“Go and do likewise.”Luke 10:37
Table question
Who did you walk past this week that you could stop for tomorrow?
30-second prayer
Jesus, make us the kind of family that stops. Show us one person to help tomorrow. Amen.
Make it stick: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in Luke 10:25-37 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
Tomorrow: Mary and Martha (Luke 10:38-42). 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?
