Tonight's family reading · Volksrust
Paul and Silas Sing in Prison — a 5-minute devotion for Volksrust 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.
Use this one on the Volksrust weekend, when there is room for a longer conversation. Read Acts 16:16-34, talk through the question properly, then write the memory verse somewhere everyone will see it on Monday.
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: write "Acts 16:25" on the fridge tonight. Every time someone in the house opens it this week, they say the verse out loud. Volksrust kids find this funnier than it deserves, which is exactly why it works.
Tomorrow: Lydia by the river (Acts 16:11-15). 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?
