From connecting the rescue mission of the US pilot in Iran using technology that can detect a heartbeat up to 40 miles away (GHOST MURMUR) to the truth that the LORD sees each of us and hears our hearts, to the relevant teaching about how to handle our worries so they don’t manifest as anxiety attacks, it seemed the LORD was up to a lot last night. What a blessing to be on the frontlines of Kingdom building!
If you missed out…I suppose you might think nobody cared. But chances are good that, while we’re not God and we can’t detect your heartbeat from 40 miles away…let alone 40 millimeters, we do notice. And we miss you. Parents…if there’s anything we can do to address the challenges of getting your kid(s) to ELEVATE, please reach out! We’re in this together!
Questions to ask at the table or when you’re driving in the car:
- What are some ways you or people you know have tried to cope with anxiety?
- Do you believe that Jesus can help you replace your worry with peace and joy? Why or why not?
- In this passage, what does Jesus teach us about our heavenly Father? How might that impact your life?
- What does Jesus say not to run after? What do you think it looks like to run after those things?
ACTION STEPS:
Read Matthew 6:33-34.
Go to God first.
Stay close to Christian community (the Kingdom of God).
Do the next right thing (seek His righteousness).
What is Jesus telling us to seek after?
If that looks like these three steps, which one(s) are you not doing? How can you start?
