Don’t Cast Your Pearls Before Swine — Matthew 7:6 — Sept 5, 2025

Not everyone will value you — God calls us to use discernment.In today’s 5-Minute Daily Devotional, we reflect on Matthew 7:6, where Jesus warns us not to give what is sacred to dogs or cast pearls before swine. Some things — and some people — simply won’t treasure who God has made you to be, and trying to force it can leave you discouraged.God wants us to guard what is holy, protect our peace, and trust His timing. Instead of wasting energy where hearts are closed, invest where His truth can take root.📖 Scripture: Matthew 7:6Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.
