Finding Your "One Thing"
Reading: Luke 10:38-42, Philippians 3:7-14
Devotional: Making Jesus our "one thing" is crucial, as Mary did by sitting at Jesus' feet. When He is our ultimate focus, everything else falls into place. Reflect on what's in your "box"—the driving force of your life—and commit to making Christ your primary focus.
Reflection: Who or what is the driving force in your life? How can you center your life more around Jesus?
Prayer: Jesus, I commit my life to making You my 'one thing.’ Help me to prioritize You above all else. Order my steps and guide me in all areas of my life as I seek You first. Amen.
