Tonight's family reading · Pongola
The Wise and Foolish Builders — a 5-minute devotion for Pongola families
Matthew 7:24-27 · What your life is built on
Two houses looked the same until the storm came. One was built on rock and stood; one was built on sand and fell with a great crash. The difference was invisible until the weather changed.
Families in Pongola tend to run this one at the dinner table. Read Matthew 7:24-27 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
“Everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”Matthew 7:24
Table question
What is one thing we could actually do tomorrow with what we read tonight?
30-second prayer
Jesus, we hear a lot and do a little. Help us build on rock this week. Amen.
Make it stick: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in Matthew 7:24-27 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
Tomorrow: the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14). 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?
