Tonight's family reading · Simbo
Elijah and the Still Small Voice — a 5-minute devotion for Simbo families
1 Kings 19:1-13 · Hearing God in the quiet
Exhausted and afraid, Elijah hid in a cave. A great wind tore the mountain apart, then an earthquake, then fire — and God was in none of them. Then came a gentle whisper.
Parents in Simbo often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read 1 Kings 19:1-13 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "hearing god in the quiet" is harder than it sounds.
Memory verse
“And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”1 Kings 19:12
Table question
When is our house quiet enough to hear a whisper?
30-second prayer
God, our days are loud. Give us thirty quiet seconds to hear you. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Simbo tomorrow, one person says the first half of "And after the fire came a gentle whisper." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: Elijah on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:16-39). 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?
