Tonight's family reading · Yanbu
The Sower and the Soil — a 5-minute devotion for Yanbu families
Mark 4:1-20 · Tending the soil, not just the seed
A farmer scattered seed on a path, on rocks, among thorns and on good soil. The same seed did four different things. Jesus said the difference was never the seed — it was the ground it landed on.
Families in Yanbu tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Mark 4:1-20 out loud while the plates are still down, ask the question once, and let the youngest answer first. It takes about five minutes and it does not need anyone to have prepared.
Memory verse
“Still others, like seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop.”Mark 4:20
Table question
What are the thorns that choke out quiet time in our week?
30-second prayer
God, pull up the thorns in our schedule. Make our house good soil. Amen.
Make it stick: write "Mark 4:20" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. Yanbu kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.
Tomorrow: the mustard seed (Mark 4:30-32). 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?
