Devotion:
Read Matthew 6:25-33.
A few weeks ago, the kids on Wednesday evening were exploring this passage. We talked about what was important to them and all the good things that were in their lives. After each item was identified, we placed a ping pong ball in a jar. The jar quickly filled up. In the second jar, there was sand which represented God and all that is part of following God. Since both jars represented our lives, we tried to combine the ping pong balls with the sand, but it would not fit. Instead, we replaced all the ping pong balls in one jar and poured the sand into that jar. It was a success! Everything fits together. So, what did we learn? God must permeate everything in our lives. He is not just first on Sunday, but every day in every way. This is what Jesus’ teaching reminds us: keep our priorities in order. If our top priority is to seek God’s will and purposes, we won’t have to worry about basic needs.
Personal Worship Option:
What are you worried about today? Do you need to re-evaluate your schedule and priorities? Spend some time with God and trust Him with your needs.
