Today’s Reading:
Matthew 19:13–30 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“But many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first.”
(Matthew 19:30)
This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew — Understanding What Is Important
A Thought for Today
What looks important to the world is not always what matters most to God.
What This Means for Us Today
Jesus welcomed little children while challenging a wealthy young man who struggled to let go of what he possessed.
Status, wealth, and achievement can easily become measures of importance.
Jesus invites us to value something greater: belonging to Him.
Carry This With You
Let Jesus define what matters most.
A Simple Prayer
Lord Jesus, loosen my grip on things that compete with You.
Teach me to treasure what truly matters.
Today’s Invitation
Ask yourself one simple question today:
What am I holding onto more tightly than Jesus?
Place it before Him.
