Judges 2:11-19; Ps. 106; Matthew 19:16-22

Give yourself to God

What do I value most? My relationship with God, or something else? Do I try and make deals with God, hoping he’ll forgive my heart being occupied elsewhere if I keep the commandments? Jesus wants us to abandon ourselves to him – to let go of anything that keeps our hearts from him, and to follow him by using our talents as best we can in his service.

I am yours, God.
