Devotional: The Things that Matter

 Day 5 – The Things That Matter

Scripture:

“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and whoever captures souls is wise.” — Proverbs 11:30

Reflection:

Life is a vapor. In light of eternity, only a few things truly matter—knowing Christ, sharing His gospel, making disciples, and living with integrity. Paul and Timothy’s story reminds us that the gospel is always meant to multiply.

When we focus on the things that matter, our priorities shift. We begin to invest in eternal things—souls, truth, and love. Whether in a church, workplace, or family, you are God’s witness in this generation.

Application:

• Take inventory of your priorities—do they reflect eternal values?

• Commit to sharing Christ with one person this week.

• Re-center your life around knowing, loving, and serving Jesus.

Prayer:

Lord, teach me to live for what truly matters. Let my life bear fruit that lasts for eternity. Give me courage to share Your gospel and disciple others faithfully. May my heart, words, and actions point always to You. Amen.
