Philippians 4:6-7 / Verses of the Day & Daily Devotion

Pray for Peace

If we can’t control our circumstances physically, we will fixate on them mentally; our thoughts loop around and around. This is exactly why Paul tells us not to be anxious. He understands the ramifications.

Paul, the author of Philippians, writes: do not be anxious about anything. This is not a suggestion or a recommendation. Reading his warning as optional results in our constant state of fear and we become anxious about everything.

Teaching us how to break the cycle of worry, Paul offers three antidotes:

Prayer. Present your worries to God. Let go of your mental turmoil and trust God’s sovereign power over your circumstances.
Petition. Make an earnest request to the One who has the authority to intervene. His power is strong enough to mend what’s broken in your life.
Praise. Giving thanks protects our hearts. Adoration loosens anxiety’s grip. Thank God for a breathtaking sunset, flowers blooming, snow falling, food to eat, and a warm blanket on a cool day. We can always find something to thank God for.

Paul promises God’s peace will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus when we practice prayer, petition, and praise. We won’t be anxious about anything when we go to God with everything. Nothing is too small or insignificant. If it matters to you, it matters to God. He cares about each detail of your life. Let prayer change the way you feel, exchanging worry for peace.

Matthew 6:33 / Verse of the Day & Daily Devotion

First Things First

There are plenty of things in life that beg for our attention. Our days are filled with relationships and responsibilities, all of which take time.

In Jesus’ famous sermon in Matthew 6, He spends some time talking about the various things we give our attention to. He explains that instead of spending all of our time and energy worrying about our basic need and desires in life, we should first seek His kingdom and His righteousness. If we do that, everything else will fall into place.

So, what does it mean to seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness? 

God’s kingdom is about God’s rule and reign over all of creation. His kingdom was unleashed during Jesus’ ministry on earth, and is now growing and expanding throughout the global Church. The work of the kingdom is to continue to tell others about the hope of Jesus, and to teach everything that Jesus has commanded.

To seek God’s righteousness is to desire to live the way God intended. It's to live according to God’s...
