Sermon: 6/28/26- Tuesday's Devotional

Obedience Rooted in Love
Reading: Matthew 6:25-34; Matthew 5:38-41

God commands us not to worry, to turn the other cheek, to show hospitality to strangers. These aren't suggestions—they're directives. Yet if we're honest, we often struggle to obey. The Israelites faced the same dilemma: trusting God's word when circumstances screamed otherwise. The key question isn't "What did God say?" but "Why does it matter?" When obedience flows from fear of consequences, it's compliance, not relationship. When it flows from love, it becomes natural worship. Examine your spiritual life today. Are you following God to avoid punishment or because you genuinely love Him? The difference transforms everything. Let your obedience today be a love letter to the God who first loved you.
