Daily Devo September 12, 2024 Stand Firm Pt. 4 Seek First the Kingdom of God

Welcome to this edition of The Daily Devo with Pastor Pete Pawelek, where we spend four minutes unpacking a scripture or a thought from God's Word to encourage us.
This week, we're exploring how to stand firm in the Lord, inspired by Philippians 4:1. Today, we discuss the importance of seeking what we truly want to find. Just like a game of hide and seek, our efforts and priorities determine what we eventually discover.
Jesus gives us profound advice in Matthew 6:33: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you." As believers, seeking God's kingdom should be our foremost priority.
Examine your heart. What are you seeking? If it’s anything other than the kingdom of God, adjust your focus today. Stand firm in your faith and pursue the goodness, grace, and generosity of God.

Daily Devo September 9, 2024 Standing Firm in the Lord Pt. 1

 Thank you for joining me for this edition of the Daily Devo. If you enjoy these episodes, please consider supporting this ministry by clicking here.
In today's episode, we explore a fundamental question: How can we stand firm in the Lord?
I've recently had many conversations with people facing various hardships—divorce, health diagnoses, family conflicts. At the heart of these struggles is a common desire to honor the Lord and stand firm in faith. But how do we achieve this? This week, we'll embark on a series to uncover practical ways to stand firm in the Lord, beginning with the importance of grounding ourselves in scripture.
Philippians 4:1 reminds us to stand firm in the Lord. To do so, we must immerse ourselves in God's word. Psalms 119:105 says, "Your word is a lamp for my feet and a light on my path." Daily engagement with scripture equips us to withstand life's challenges and spiritual battles. Whether you read a few minutes before bed, listen on your commute, or meditate during breaks, integrating scripture into your life is essential.
Join me tomorrow for part two as we continue our series on standing firm in the Lord. Until then, visit PastorPete.org for more resources. See you tomorrow!
