We want you to CONNECT with God through His Word, Prayer, & Worship.
Today, call out to Him in prayer. Ask Him to "open your eyes" as you read through the scripture.
As you observe the scripture, we encourage you to take notes.
Notice the emotions, reasons, and context. Make sure to note what God wants you to know or do after reading the scripture.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
- Proverbs 14:12
We live in a world of colliding kingdoms. Every day, we stand at the intersection of two powerful forces: the kingdom of self and the kingdom of Christ. These kingdoms don't run parallel—they cut across each other, creating unavoidable tension in our lives. The kingdom of self whispers seductively: "Trust yourself. Follow your heart. You have everything you need within." Meanwhile, the kingdom of Christ calls us to a radically different path: "Die to self. Trust Christ. Live in truth." This collision isn't primarily about politics, cultural differences, or even moral debates. It's about two fundamentally opposed ways of living. One path may feel natural and affirming, but as Proverbs warns us, what seems right to us can lead to destruction. When we've grown comfortable with the kingdom of self, God's truth can feel like an intrusion. His holiness can seem like an attack. His long-term rescue can feel like an unwelcome disruption to our carefully constructed lives. Yet this collision is precisely where transformation happens. It's at this intersection that we must make our choice: Will we continue to build our tower of self-reliance, or will we surrender to the One who offers us true life?
Explore & examine the areas of your life that God needs to come under the truth. Take a moment to commit & surrender these areas in prayer.
After, tell and share with others what God is teaching you! Try this:
*Share your encouraging takeaways with others on your social media, or share your story with us. We want to celebrate with you!
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
- Matthew 6:33
