Tonight's family reading · Santa Cruz

Paul and Silas Sing in Prison — a 5-minute devotion for Santa Cruz families

Acts 16:16-34 · Songs at midnight

Beaten and locked in the inner cell with their feet in stocks, Paul and Silas were singing hymns at midnight. An earthquake shook the doors open — and instead of running, they stayed and the jailer's whole family came to faith.

This works best in Santa Cruz as a bedtime reading. Lights low, Acts 16:16-34 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "songs at midnight"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.

Memory verse

“About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God.”

Acts 16:25

Table question

What song could we sing on a hard day?

30-second prayer

God, teach us midnight songs — praise that does not wait for things to improve. Amen.

Make it stick: on the way through Santa Cruz tomorrow, one person says the first half of "About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.

Tomorrow: Lydia by the river (Acts 16:11-15). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
