God on the Go: Distractions – With What We Think Is Fair and Unfair

We’re diving into the fairness debate, and how it can veer us off the blessings we have in our lives. With a sprinkle of wisdom from the prodigal son saga, we find how fixating on life’s unfair moments can blind us to our own happiness and treasures. 

This Week!

Monday Story:

  • When my brothers and I would fight, I could get so distracted by what I thought was fair or unfair, instead of staying focused on doing what was right. It reminds me of the brother of the prodigal son, who got so focused on what he thought was unfair that he got distracted from his father’s love.

Tuesday Key Verse:

  • Luke 15:31 – “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”

Wednesday Prayer:

  • Lord, thank you for always standing up for me. Thank you for you love. Help me not get distracted from that truth. In Jesus’s name, amen.

Thursday Question:

  • What is something that feels unfair to you? Has it distracted you from what is good in your life?

Friday Fun Fact:

  • Q: What percent of all car crashes are caused by being distracted?
  • A: Almost 30%.
