Tonight's family reading · Karatu

David and the Giant — a 5-minute devotion for Karatu 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.

Families in Karatu tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read 1 Samuel 17 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

“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 Karatu — 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.
