Session 3: Priorities


        Devotion

           1

                 “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
                 things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33).


             Seek first his kingdom: it’s easier said than done.
             Sitting where you’re sitting in life right now, what’s your understand-
        ing of what “seeking first his kingdom” means? And how do you think
        you’re doing living it out? Why do you answer as you do?

                 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s
                 mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleas-
                 ing to God—this is your true and proper worship” (Romans 12:1).


             It’s easy to say that Jesus comes first in our lives—and that’s what a
        disciple is supposed to say.
             But suppose you were arrested by the Priority Police and had to pro-
        duce evidence to support your claim.
             Thinking back on the last week, what evidence could you provide?
        Make your case below.
