Daily Scripture Text: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33

Commentary: Matthew 6:33 emphasizes the priority of seeking God's kingdom and righteousness above all else. It reminds us that when we prioritize our relationship with God and align our lives with His will, He promises to provide for our needs. This verse challenges us to focus on eternal values rather than temporal concerns, trusting that God will take care of every aspect of our lives as we seek Him first.

Questions:

How does this verse challenge your priorities and perspective on life?

In what ways do you actively seek God's kingdom and righteousness in your daily life?

How can you trust God more fully to provide for your needs as you prioritize Him above all else?

Prayer: Dear Lord, help us to prioritize seeking your kingdom and righteousness above all else in our lives. Grant us the wisdom to align our hearts with your will and trust in your provision for all our needs. May our pursuit of you lead to a deeper intimacy with you and a greater reliance on your faithfulness. In Jesus' name, amen.

Exploring The Christian Faith

The Christian faith is more than a set of beliefs; it's a deeply personal and transformative journey that spans generations. It's a journey of discovering and nurturing a relationship with God, finding purpose in life, and striving to live according to the teachings of Jesus Christ. In this blog post, we will delve into the essence of Christian faith, explore some foundational scriptures, and embark on a spiritual journey that leads to a life of love, hope, and purpose.

Understanding Christian Faith: Christian faith is rooted in the belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior and Lord. It's about surrendering one's life to God, acknowledging one's sins, and receiving the gift of salvation through faith. The Christian journey involves embracing love, forgiveness, and grace as central tenets. It's not merely intellectual assent but a heartfelt trust in God's promises and a commitment to follow Christ's example.

Foundational Scriptures:

John 3:16 - "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." This verse encapsulates the essence of God's love and the purpose of Christ's sacrifice.

Romans 10:9 - "If you declare with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." This verse emphasizes the importance of confession and belief in Christ's resurrection.

Ephesians 2:8-9 - "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." This passage underscores the role of grace and faith in salvation.

Matthew 22:37-39 - "Jesus replied: 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" These verses highlight the dual commandment of loving God and loving others.

The Spiritual Journey:

Faith as a Journey: Christian faith is a lifelong journey of growth, learning, and transformation. It involves moments of doubt, challenges, and triumphs that shape one's relationship with God.

Prayer and Reflection: Prayer is a vital aspect of the Christian journey. It's a way to communicate with God, seek guidance, and find solace. Regular reflection on scriptures deepens understanding and connection.

Community and Fellowship: Engaging with a Christian community provides support, accountability, and opportunities for shared worship and service.

Service and Compassion: Living out one's faith involves serving others, and demonstrating Christ's love through acts of compassion and kindness.

Christian faith is a profound journey that encompasses belief, relationships, and a commitment to live according to Christ's teachings. It's rooted in God's unconditional love, the sacrifice of Jesus, and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. As you embark on this journey, remember that faith is not without challenges, but it is through these challenges that your relationship with God deepens, your purpose becomes clearer, and your life is illuminated by the light of Christ.

“My christianity must enter into my married life, into my relationship with my parents, into my work, into everything I am, and everything I do.” -Martyn Lloyd-Jones Before you decide to cut corners at work, before you say something mean to your spouse, before you bad mouth your parents, ask yourself who you’re living for? God or yourself? And act accordingly. #Repost @at_the_last_trumpet #matynlloydjones #christianandnerdy #christianity #christianliving #livingforchrist #christalone https://www.instagram.com/p/BzsVAYHFC-I/?igshid=109ul4ysc7mpt

The greatest blessing and treasure ever given to me and continues to be given is my parents. Parent who love God and follow His Word. Now my parents aren’t perfect (though I am bias and think they are at least close to it) but their key to life is knowing God’s Word and being doer’s of His Word. They did/do everything and anything they could for my brothers and me to grow up knowing who God is and what His Word says. At times it felt draining, in my teenage years especially (rebellious years). I remember our parents making sure we were in church every Sunday, mom often sitting us at the kitchen table for bible readings and discussions (sometimes I think dad was in the student boat with us). Even when we would put up a fight they never gave up on us. I know their prayers for us are promises in God’s Word and they continue to stand and believe His Word over our lives, they never cease to use it. Their continued example of who God is and what his Word says has bought me though many struggles in life. As I get older those things that I once felt were boring and useless, I now see are vital to my life. God’s Word and living it out are what gives life. So my question today is do you know God’s Word, His promises over who you are, over the people around you? How much greater are your prayers, your life, if you know what God says about them in His word? “How happy is the man who does not follow the advice of the wicked or take the path of sinners or join a group of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside streams of water that bears its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.”Psalms 1:1-3 In Becoming and Beholding @ruthchousimons quotes her husband @Troydsimons saying “The clearest evidence that we possess something is that we are possessed by it.” Do you possess God’s Word in your heart? #MelanieRivera412Life #BB32DAYS #RuthChouSimons #TheArtOfEverydayWorship #InspireSpiritualGrowth #Pittsburgh #Burgh #Pitt #PGH #SteelCity #PittsburghStrong #GodsWordIsTruth #GodsWord #Prayer #WhoAreYou #LivingForChrist #BeAnExample #OnTheMove #Bless (at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) https://www.instagram.com/p/B7qgg8gpTsh/?igshid=1c8jc3obq680j

December 20, 2019 READ: Nehemiah 6:1–9 This work had been done with the help of our God. Nehemiah 6:16 “Failure is impossible!” These words were spoken by Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906), known for her immovable stance on women’s rights in the US. Though she faced constant criticism and later an arrest, trial, and guilty verdict for voting illegally, Anthony vowed to never give up the fight to gain women the right to vote, believing her cause was just. Though she didn’t live to see the fruit of her labor, her declaration proved true. In 1920, the nineteenth amendment to the Constitution gave women the right to vote. Failure wasn’t an option for Nehemiah either, mainly because he had a Powerful Helper: God. After asking Him to bless his cause—rebuilding the wall of Jerusalem—Nehemiah and those who had returned to Jerusalem from exile in Babylon worked to make that happen. The wall was needed to keep the people safe from enemies. But opposition to the cause came in the form of deception and threats. Nehemiah refused to let opposition deter him. He informed those who opposed the work, “I am carrying on a great project” (Nehemiah 6:3). After that, he prayed, “Now strengthen my hands” (v. 9). Thanks to perseverance, the work was completed (v. 15). God gave Nehemiah the strength to persevere in the face of opposition. Is there a task for which you’re tempted to give up? Ask God to provide whatever you need to keep going. — Linda Washington How do you normally handle opposition? What cause are you willing to fight for, no matter how tough the opposition? Precious God, I need Your help to keep going with the work You’ve given me to do, no matter what the cost may be. #scripture #dailybread #jesusislord #jesusisking #withgodallthingsarepossible #spreadthegospel #truereligion #outreachprogram #lovetheunloved #loveafrica #givebacktoafrica #givebacktoafricancommunities #loveoneanother #donate #donation #supportgirlchildeducation #supportorphans #zotzon #livingforchrist #christianliving #italychurch #parisdonation #thankful https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Xv0nmj8Jt/?igshid=11wuawoa5c7xi

God gave Himself to you, give yourself to God. #giveyourlifetojesus I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.- Rom12:1 #livingforgod Give yourself to God. Give Him everything you are, everything you hope to be, all your dreams, visions, hopes and desires. Make everything His, and He will demonstrate His power through your life. #liveforgod 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.- Gal2:20 #giveyourlifetochrist The purpose of your time here on earth is not primarily about acquiring possessions, attaining status, achieving success, or experiencing happiness. Those are secondary/issues. Life is all about love with God and with other people. You may succeed in many areas, but if you fail to learn how to love God and love others, you'd have missed the reason why God created you. #giveyourlifetogod There's no greater act of worship than giving God all of you. #liveforjesus 🔥Subscribe to my YouTube channel and podcast,👉🏾"Uplift Past Crossroads"👈🏾🔥 Befriend me on Facebook/LinkedIn = Sean Christopher Jenkins 🔥Follow👉🏾@troubledontlast 👈🏾IG/Twitter/Snap for more🔥 Turn on Post Notification - Like - Comment - Share - Save ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ . .
