MID-WEEK DEVOTION

“But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness,

and all these things will be given to you as well.” Ma;hew 6:33

1. What is the vision and mission of your group/home/work?

2. How can you use your giFs, resources and influence to inspire/

move people to fulfill the vision?

Consider the reign of Josiah taking place during massive

transi"ons of power in interna"onal affairs.

What changes do you see around you lately? What overwhelms

you and what excites you?

What aQtudes can be helpful in our reac"ons to change?

Read John 15:7

How can Christ and his words abide in us today?

Think of the examples that you see his words being applied today

in a relevant and powerful manner.
