Daily Devo | When Yours and My Needs Collide (New Testament in a Year, Matthew 12:1-21)
About this episode
After hearing of John the Baptist’s death, Jesus withdraws to a quiet place to grieve. The crowds follow him but instead of Jesus turning them away, he is moved to care for them. Despite his own deep and authentic need, he takes time to care for the needs of others. How do we respond when faced with a similar challenge? What might God have us do when our own needs collide with the needs of others?

For Reflection:
- How do you tend to react when the needs of others interrupt taking care of yourself? Try to think of specific examples.
- What does Jesus’ compassion for the crowd teach you about God’s heart for people?
- What might God be inviting you to do in order to have the margin to care for others in a healthy, sustainable way?
