Pray
Heavenly Father, let your kingdom come. Please show me how you want me to do your kingdom work.
Read
Jesus has just finished teaching about the kingdom of God, in which all of our actions have eternal significance.
Matthew 5:14-17
Reflect
According to Jesus’s teaching in this passage, what is one reason that we do good things for others?
Respond
If someone outside of God’s family looked at your private life, would he or she see a reflection of God’s character? Think of one area in your life where you’re struggling to reflect God’s light and pray that the Holy Spirit would work there.
Scripture
