Tonight's family reading · Makete
The Sower and the Soil — a 5-minute devotion for Makete 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.
Use this one on the Makete weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Mark 4:1-20, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
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: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that tending the soil, not just the seed is something you practise, not something you know.
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?
