Pause with the passage.

The people listen to God's Word and are invited to respond with joy and generosity. Their celebration includes sharing with those who have nothing prepared. Joy can turn our attention toward both God's goodness and our neighbors.

What gift from God can you receive with gratitude and share?

Bring it to God.

Lord, restore my joy in You and make me generous toward others. Amen.

Carry it into your day

Keep listening.

Do not love the world!

What has your heart: the things of this world or the will of God? In this episode of The Daily Bread Podcast, we explore John’s warning about worldly desires, the pull of what we see, and pride in what we have. It’s an invitation to examine what shapes our choices and turn our hearts toward what lasts. The world and its desires are passing away, but whoever does the will of God lives forever.
