READ Luke 6
MEDITATE on Luke 6:45, "The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks." What do your words say about your character?

REFLECT
Jesus had those who sought to stop him and he had his disciples. His teachings pointed out that some people were Kingdom people (citizens) and others clearly belong to a different nation. Some people will be blessed and others will receive woe.

I feel like we tend to try to blur the line between the two Kingdoms. "Maybe I can be Christian but still enjoy the fruits of the world." But Jesus' call cuts deep to what is really the pursuit of our lives, what/whom do we worship. Are we really committed to following Jesus? Do we hear His call?

PRAY

Pray for yourself today and for others you know: for a deep sense of Christ's call upon our lives and a similarly deep sense of love from and for Him. The Gospel transforms us from the inside out.
