Tonight's family reading · Hafr Al-Batin
David and the Giant — a 5-minute devotion for Hafr Al-Batin families
1 Samuel 17 · Courage that comes from God, not size
An army stood frozen for forty days while a giant shouted at them. A shepherd boy walked out with a sling and five smooth stones, saying the battle belonged to God. One stone was enough.
Parents in Hafr Al-Batin often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read 1 Samuel 17 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "courage that comes from god, not size" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“The battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands.”1 Samuel 17:47
Table question
What is the giant you are most afraid of right now — and who is standing with you?
30-second prayer
God, the thing I am scared of looks much bigger than me. Remind me tonight that the battle is yours. Amen.
Make it stick: pick one person in Hafr Al-Batin — a neighbour, a grandparent, a classmate — and do the thing the story asks for before Sunday. Courage that comes from God, not size only counts once it costs something.
Tomorrow: David and Jonathan become friends (1 Samuel 18:1-4). 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?
