Day 2: The Gift of Too Much
Five-day devotional based on the message, "I'm Fine" by Discipleship Pastor Ryan Akers on June 1, 2025. Click here to watch the video.
Devotional:
The gift of too much might seem like a paradox, but it teaches us invaluable lessons about prioritizing and depending on God. Like Moses, we often find ourselves overwhelmed with responsibilities. The sermon encourages us to release what we cannot handle, reminding us that God provides what we need to endure. By doing so, we can focus on the best things: our relationship with God and rest.
Bible Verse:
"Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Gather before me seventy men who are recognized as elders and leaders of Israel. Bring them to the Tabernacle to stand there with you... They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.’" – Numbers 11:15-17
Reflection Question:
What can you release from your life to make room for what truly matters?
Sermon Quote:
“Letting go can be hard, but sometimes we have to release good things to focus on the best things.”
Prayer:
Lord, grant me the wisdom to prioritize my life according to Your will. Help me to let go of what is unnecessary so that I may focus on what truly matters—my relationship with You and finding rest in Your presence. Amen.
