Tonight's family reading · Balanga
Jonah and the Second Chance — a 5-minute devotion for Balanga families
Jonah 1-3 · God's second chances
Jonah was sent to a city he did not like, so he sailed the opposite way. A storm, a fish and three dark days later, he was back on the shore — and the word of the Lord came to him a second time.
This works best in Balanga as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Jonah 1-3 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "god's second chances"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time.”Jonah 3:1
Table question
Where do you need a second chance — and who could you give one to?
30-second prayer
God, thank you for second chances. Help us hand them out as freely as we take them. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Balanga tomorrow, one person says the first half of "Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: Jonah under the vine (Jonah 4). 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?
