DAY 78, MATTHEW 19

Good Morning! Our names are Crystal Koepke and Regan Koepke and we were asked to give you a devotional thought from the book of Matthew, Chapter 19.

Key Verse: Matthew 19:14

Reflection:  While reading this passage, Regan said verse 14 really jumped out at her. When I asked her why, she simply said...because that means Jesus wants all of us to come to Him. He wants all of us to go to Heaven. Once again, my 9-year-old is teaching me so much about what Jesus really wants from us. We should never feel too old to come to Jesus...for anything. In verse 26, Jesus reminds us that all things are possible through God. So not only does He want us to come to him, He will make everything possible through Him.

Application:  Regan said that, knowing Jesus wants us all to come to Him and He'll make everything possible through Him, makes it easier for her to not worry about everything.  She says "God's got my back!"  I'm sure glad has my back....aren't you???

Review Questions:

1. Who did Jesus want to come to him?

2. What belongs to such as these?

3. Are all things possible?

4. Have you chosen to follow Jesus?


Thank you for being a part of the 100 day challenge. Thanks for reading, and you have a blessed day!!

In Christ,
