What good work is God calling you to do this week? When you do it, you bring Him honor.
Memorize This Week
In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 (ESV)
“In the same way.”
Jesus begins this verse by referring back to his previous statement (Matthew 5:15). In the same way that a lamp gives light to all in the house, so our good works are to give light to others.
What are your good works?
While as believers we may have several good works in common, many of your good works are specific to you. They are ways you shine in your world. Things you can do in ways no one else can do exactly like you.
When you do well, in this day, what God has called you to do—whatever that looks like in your everyday life—you are letting your light shine before others.
And when your light shines, in this way, God is honored.
Next week: Break
This is our last week to memorize about salt and light. If you haven’t memorized verses 13-15, backtrack to catch those, too. They’ll come to you quicker than you’d expect.
Next week we take a break. Then we’ll finish strong together with three more verses in Matthew 5 and be finished with this memory challenge.
