Tonight's family reading · Porto
Paul and Silas Sing in Prison — a 5-minute devotion for Porto 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.
Parents in Porto often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read Acts 16:16-34 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "songs at midnight" is harder than it sounds.
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: write "Acts 16:25" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. Porto kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.
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?
