Daily Devo | Undivided Loyalties (New Testament in a Year, Matthew 6) [corrected]
Description
[An earlier version of this episode was missing the first scripture reading.]
In this section of Jesus' sermon, he turns our attention to spiritual practices (fasting, praying, giving) as expressions of trust. He highlights money itself as a critical focus, one that can easily become a substitute for God in our hearts and minds. Money promises security but in the end, it creates even greater anxiety about the future. Instead, we find true peace in God when we put God first in our lives.
