Verse: "Do everything for God's glory." (1 Corinthians 10:31)
Devotional: Obedience means doing what God wants, even when we donʼt always feel like it. In basketball, if your coach tells you to run drills, you might not want to, but you know itʼs to make you a better player. When we obey God, we show that we trust Him and want to follow His plan, even if we donʼt always understand it.
Illustration: Imagine your coach tells you to do a difficult drill in practice. You might not understand why, but you know that listening to your coach will make you a better player. In the same way, God asks us to obey Him because He knows whatʼs best for us.
Why do you think itʼs important to obey God?
Can you think of a time when you didnʼt want to do something, but you knew it was the right thing?
Basketball Application: Obedience in basketball means listening to your coach, following the rules, and playing for the good of the team. In life, it means listening to God and following His Word. Even when we donʼt understand, we can trust that Godʼs way is the best way. Takeaway for the Week: This week, focus on obedience. Listen to your parents, teachers, and coaches, and ask God to help you follow His way in everything you do.
