TOPSY-TURVY

May 31 – June 6 Family Devotions
Part 2

These short devotions are from Sally Lloyd-Jones’ book, “Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing.”

Week of May 31 – June 6

Theme: TOPSY-TURVY

Read:

The true story of God coming to rescue his children is Topsy-Turvy Good News!
Jesus said, “The way to be the greatest is to be the least. The way to save your life is to give it away.”

Jesus didn’t come with wealth. He came as a poor man.

He didn’t come as a General to grab power.

He came as a baby.

He didn’t come to be Boss of everyone.

He came to be a servant.

And—without fighting a single military battle—God’s Undercover Prince conquered the whole world!

“But God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.”
—1 Corinthians 1.27

Discussion

In Jesus’ Topsy-Turvy kingdom, is it better to be in charge of everyone or to be the helper of everyone?

What are some ways we can help others this week?

Family Project

Make a plan to help someone this week as a family (like mowing a neighbor’s lawn or offering to pick up their groceries at the store or making them some chocolate chip cookies).
