Seek First 365: A One Year Bible Reading Plan for Daily Devotionનમૂનો

Reflection:

• Jesus told a parable of the tenants and, within the story, prophesied His own death. If the Pharisees, chief priests, and religious leaders wanted Jesus dead, why were they outraged by the parable?
• Why did the delegation of Pharisees ask Jesus about taxes in verses 13-14? How did their motives differ from the way they phrased their question to Jesus?
• What does it mean to “give back to God what is God’s,” as Jesus said in verse 17?

Pray and Apply:

Reflect on what it means to bear the image of God in your life and what it means for you to give to God what belongs to Him. Is there an area of your life you need to surrender to the will of God? Is there a relationship or ambitious pursuit, a behavior or an idol in your life that you need to lay down to fully give your heart, mind, body and soul to God? Worship Jesus, then lay your heart and life before Him in an act of surrender. Let the Spirit of God speak to you, directing and revealing to you what a life of full devotion looks like for you.
