Devotional
Living with purpose means aligning our priorities with God’s kingdom purposes. It involves seeking God’s guidance and wisdom in all that we do, whether it’s in our relationships, our work, or our daily interactions with others. It’s about recognizing that our lives have meaning and significance beyond the here and now, and that our actions can have a ripple effect that extends far beyond our own lifetimes.
Key Scripture
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Refreshing for the Day

Using our time to further God’s kingdom involves prioritizing activities that draw us closer to Him, such as prayer, studying His Word, and engaging in fellowship with other believers.
