Introduction
Jesus warns his followers to avoid dishonest teachings and to fear only God. Today’s reading concludes with a parable that warns against placing one’s trust in earthly wealth.
Today’s Scripture: Luke 12:15b
[Jesus said:] “Watch out and guard yourselves from every kind of greed; because your true life is not made up of the things you own, no matter how rich you may be.”
Today’s Reading
Luke 12:1-21
Reflect
Jesus uses the metaphor of yeast when referring to hypocrisy. What is the significance of this metaphor? Have you ever encountered someone who sought to dissuade you from your beliefs? How can you “be on guard” against such false teachings?
Pray
Lord Jesus, I place my trust in you and in your teachings. Keep my heart pure this day and guide me in the path of your truth. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Victims of financial exploitation
Tomorrow’s Reading
