The Savior Comes, Day 6

Choices. Read Matthew chapter 6.

As Jesus continues preaching from what is commonly known as the sermon on the mount, we see so many wonderful truths through this chapter. We should not worry, how should we pray, how should we give. This one verse stands out to me today as a reminder of the choices that we have and the choices that we need to make.

We all have a choice about who or what we will serve. Many people struggle with this choice. The world we live in puts so much emphasis on material possessions and power, and also the influence that can come as a result of those possessions. It can be incredibly challenging to live while placing your emphasis and focus on Christ. That is exactly the challenge that God puts before us. We are to choose God above every earthly thing. What are we choosing today?
