Generosity Begins With Priority
Open by taking 2-3 minutes to pray and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Read Luke 12:1-48. Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Jesus teaches us about the importance of prioritizing God's kingdom over earthly treasures. As we reflect on these verses, let's consider where our true treasures lie. Are we more focused on accumulating wealth and possessions, or on building our relationship with God? The challenge is to shift our perspective from earthly gain to eternal value. Today, take a moment to evaluate your priorities. How can you realign your focus to seek God's kingdom first? Remember, when we prioritize God, He promises to provide for our needs.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…

Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Ask God to show you one practical step you can take today to demonstrate that God, not money, is your master.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
