Tonight's family reading · Pietermaritzburg

The Walls of Jericho — a 5-minute devotion for Pietermaritzburg families

Joshua 6 · Trusting instructions that look strange

God's instructions made no military sense: walk around the city once a day for six days, then seven times on the seventh, and shout. They did it. The walls fell outward.

Use this one on the Pietermaritzburg weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Joshua 6, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.

Memory verse

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous.”

Joshua 1:9

Table question

What is one thing God asks of us that feels strange but worth trying?

30-second prayer

Lord, we like plans that make sense. Help us trust yours when they do not. Amen.

Make it stick: write "Joshua 1:9" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. Pietermaritzburg kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.

Tomorrow: Rahab's red cord (Joshua 2). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
