SCRIPTURE
Matthew 6:25-34 NIV
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?
28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
KEEP IT UNCOMPLICATED
Observation Question
- What do you observe about the verses? What stands out to you?
Understanding Questions
- Am I starting my day with a focus on the Lord? Have I made time to prioritize His presence first thing in the morning, or do I find myself distracted by other things? How can I be intentional about inviting God into the beginning of my day?
- Pastor Keith reminded us that Jesus must be our #1 pursuit and priority. How can I make Jesus the focus of my daily life? What changes do I need to make to ensure I’m prioritizing Him in every area?
Application Question
- Pastor Keith emphasized that we can’t have divided devotion. Are my relationships helping me grow closer to God, or are any of them pulling me away from His purposes? Are there any relationships that I need to evaluate or adjust in light of my commitment to Him?
Before Next Week
- Next week, we will have a member share from their Life Journal. Take some time to reflect on your readings this week, and choose someone to share next week.
