Daily Reflection: Today’s passage reminds us to filter our everyday habits and traditions through a spiritual lens. Family and cultural traditions can be important, but we should never lose sight of the overarching message of love Jesus taught: love God and love others. When we order our lives to love first, we are honoring our Father over the traditions of man.
Daily Demonstration: As you go about your day today, ask God to show you any areas of your life where you may be honoring the traditions of man over the teachings of Jesus. Allow the Holy Spirit to help show you opportunities to demonstrate the love of God to his big family.

About this Plan
The word “family” can mean many different things to different people. Often, when people speak of family, they mean their blood relatives, specifically those with whom they live. When Christians speak of family, we also refer to God’s family, his ekklesia, or “church.” When we enter God’s kingdom, we become family with one another, forging a bond that transcends blood everything. We are all brought together into God’s family.
