Put Your Toys Away
SEPTEMBER 11, 2026
Daily Reading—Pro. 10-11 / 1 Co. 15
WHAT GOD HAS SAID:
1 Corinthians 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
WHAT I HAVE SEEN:
Over and over, I remember as a child hearing my mom and dad say, “Put your toys away.” I hated hearing that. It meant I had to go upstairs, pick up all the toys, even the ones my sister had taken out, and put them in the toy box. Yet, here is something I find strange. I cannot remember the last time I did that. I do not have an anniversary on my calendar for the last day that I played with my toys. It was something I outgrew a desire for and walked away from.
Our maturity in our Christian walk should be much the same. There should be things we look back on and say, “I do not remember when, but I spiritually outgrew that.” If not, we must ask ourselves a serious question.
WHAT WILL YOU DO:
Are we spiritually growing up at all?
IF YOU ARE JOURNALING:
Ask yourself, what are MY THOUGHTS concerning this passage and today’s devotion?
Within this reading, do I find a CHALLENGE for my life?
What actions will I take today or this week to meet this CHALLENGE?
