Devotional: Christian Faith Foundations

Intro

Some days it feels like no matter how hard you try to “get it together,” something still feels off.

You’re doing the Bible reading. You’re praying. But, deep down, your faith feels scattered or shallow. It’s like when you pray, your prayers go up to the ceiling and fall back down.

Sound familiar?

I want to offer you another perspective. Perhaps it’s not that you are completely off. Maybe you just need a realignment. You know. Kind of like what cars get when they start to slightly veer off the road even when you are steering straight.

To realign, you have to take a pause and return to the basic biblical foundations of your Christian faith.

Scripture Focus: Faith Verse of The Day

I offer you this verse to focus on (and many more to come). You can verse map this for an even deeper study.

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need.”— Matthew 6:33 NLT

Reflections & Encouragement

This verse is more than encouragement. It’s divine instruction. Jesus gave us a blueprint for how to live this Christian life. It’s one that starts with putting God in His rightful place.

When you seek the Kingdom first, everything else starts to shift into place. Your decisions, your desires, even your daily frustrations, begin to look different when God is at the center.

That doesn’t mean your life will be perfect. But it does mean you’ll stop feeling like you’re building your house on the sand.

If you’ve been trying to grow in your faith without a firm foundation, now’s the time to start fresh. The best way to do that is to spend time in the Word of god. Allow God’s Word to correct, comfort, and guide your life. That’s how real growth happens.
