Yele-za-pɛr-tib 50:21

In this eye-opening three-day devotional, you will learn that the goodness of God explains EVERYTHING. And His goodness is looking for YOU. You don’t have to chase it down. God designed “goodness” to follow you ALL the days of your life! This devotional will shape your expectations and free you from negative emotions caused by a misconception of God’s truly good and loving nature.

How do you respond when someone upsets you? Do you get angry? Are you sad? Do you sneak into their house at night and spread Legos all over their floor? Join in as we explore what Jesus calls us to do with our grudges (Spoiler alert: we are called to forgive!).

This is part 4 of 4 in the Feed Middle School series Unboxed: Created in God's Image. This plan unpacks Lesson 4: God's Masterpiece. God identifies us as his children. He designed us as his “masterpiece,” and through Christ, we are set free to do the good things he planned for us long before sin entered the world. We don’t need to cling to our own ideas of who we should be or what we must do. Being in Christ is enough.

Excellence. We all want it. We want to be viewed as capable. We want to be recognized for our work. But what does excellence really take? Joseph’s story shows us how to work with God as the source of excellence, in both good times and bad.
