Day 5 - Monday
Bible Verses: Matthew 7:24-29
Spark Bible: House on the Rock (p.282)
Devotion: Jesus speaks of two outcomes of a great storm: the wise man safe in his house built on a rock, and the foolish man whose house fell on a foundation of sand.
Our family remembered sitting on our front porch during a spring rainstorm. Soon thunder, lightning, and severe winds came and frightened us. When two trees blew over before our eyes, we went inside our house to the basement. We sat together and talked about the storm and felt safe.
Today we talked about other types of storms in our lives. These aren't real storms, but times when we feel frightened, unsafe, or uncertain of what to do. Maybe these times are when we feel we may have done something wrong. We realized we feel best when responding to these situations when we remember God's goodness, and use it as our guide in the way we live our lives.
Reflection: Have you had a difficult situation in your life? How did you respond to it?
Prayer: God help me to know the right things to do when I don't know what to do. Thank you for all living things. Amen.
