First Lesson
Deuteronomy 11:10-17
10 For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not
as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst
thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:
11 But the land, whither ye go to possess it, is a land of hills
and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:
12 A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the
LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year
even unto the end of the year.
13 And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently
unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the
LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with
all your soul,
14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season,
the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in
thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
15 And I will send grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou
mayest eat and be full.
16 Take
heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye turn
aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;
17 And then the LORD'S wrath be kindled against you, and he shut
up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield
not her fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land
which the LORD giveth you.

Second Lesson
Matthew 6:24-34
24
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one,
and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise
the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what
ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body,
what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the
body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do
they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth
them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his
stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory
was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which
today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much
more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or,
What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and
all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall
take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof.
2nd Lesson Questions -
Do I try to serve both God and mammon? (V. 24) How? Do I always live my life based on the prioritization given in verse 33? RESOLVE.
