“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭33‬

Question
What occupies the center of your life today, God or something else?

Context
Jesus assures that when God’s kingdom is the first priority, our needs will be taken care of (“all these things will be added to you”). This doesn’t mean luxury or excess, but provision of necessities in line with God’s care. Jesus reminds us to prioritize God’s kingdom above all else. When God comes first, everything else falls into place.

Application
Life is busy and full of distractions. Make God your priority through prayer, Scripture, and choices aligned with His will. This provides clarity, peace, and purpose. When our lives are ordered around Him first, God promises to provide what we need.

Truth For The Day
Seek God first; the rest will follow in His perfect timing.

Pray
Lord, help me place You at the center of my life today. Guide my priorities and actions according to Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

“By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”
‭‭John‬ ‭13‬:‭35‬

Question
Does your life reflect Jesus’ love in a way others can see?

Context
Jesus is with His disciples in the upper room the night before He would be arrested. He told His disciples that love is the defining characteristic of His followers. Faith is shown not only in words but in how we treat others.

Application
Each day, show Christ’s love through acts of kindness, patience, and forgiveness. Love may not always be easy, but it is the clearest evidence of a heart following Jesus.

Truth For The Day
Love speaks louder than words; let it be your testimony today.

Pray
Lord, help me reflect Your love in all my interactions. Let my words and actions point others to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him.
‭‭James‬ ‭1‬:‭5‬

Question
When making important decisions, whose advice or guidance do you seek first?

Context
James is writing to Christians who were under severe persecution. Right after urging believers to remain steadfast under trials, James highlights the need for wisdom. This isn’t just general knowledge, but practical, godly wisdom. He encourages believers to rely on God for wisdom, reminding us that He gives generously to those who ask. Life is full of decisions, and without God’s guidance, it’s easy to stumble.

Application
When trials come, believers don’t always know how to respond. James points us to prayer for wisdom so we can endure, make godly choices, and see God’s purpose in our difficulties. Pray and seek God’s guidance before making decisions. His wisdom helps you navigate challenges, avoid pitfalls, and act in alignment with His plan. Trusting God doesn’t just guide your steps—it gives you peace and confidence.

Truth For The Day
God’s wisdom lights the path when our own understanding falls short.

Pray
Lord, grant me wisdom today in all my choices. Help me trust Your guidance and walk in the path You have for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
