Daily Bread

At Seek First we simply want to encourage you to not only know Jesus personally, but to also seek His Wisdom. So you too can hear a voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues, . . . [because] salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for his judgments are true and just. . .”

Have you ever read about the Seven Churches in Revelation to determine how they may apply to you? I did. Revelation 2:2-4 I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love

I see now that it is through my struggles that I finally made peace with God, not through man or religion, but through our Lord Jesus Christ. It is there that I found hope that does not put me to shame, because God’s Love has been poured into my heart through the Holy Spirit, not by some other means. A Return to My First Love: My Testimony is a roadmap of how I made my way back, reviving the hope placed within me by my Creator.

“What is the house that you would build for me, and what is the place of my rest?” God Creator of the Universe, Isaiah 66:1 Did you notice the singularity of this invitation? The Lord isn’t inviting US to build Him a house, He asking what YOU, as an individual, will build for Him. "Work out your own Salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure." Paul, Philippians 2:12-13

God’s Word declares that we have weapons of warfare that have divine power to destroy strongholds. “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ.” I am not only to be tearing down false Strongholds, but I am also to be building a new one.

Most every Christian can quote the scripture, “judge not lest you be judged,” found in Matthew 7:1. Yet, judgement is often on our lips, either against ourselves or against others.

Death and Life are in the power of the tongue. What does the Word say about the words we speak?

So, the good news is — you do not have to look to religion, a church, or a man to bring a “word” or a little bit of heaven. It’s already in you. The not-so-good news is that you cannot look to religion, a church, or a man to grow it. You are the one and only steward of your soul, and you can never pass that responsibility to another person, no matter what agreement the two of you may reach.

What is Seek First? As odd as it may seem, it makes sense to start with what Seek First is NOT. It is not our mission at Seek First to create another online community, nor do we wish to start another local church or assembly. We are also not here to provide another sermon series, set of opinions, or to create division, as we are not out to compete, win, or persuade anyone of our personal mission or vision. We are simply here to encourage others to SEEK FIRST GOD’S KINGDOM.

Pride - The Great Sin “We have become what evil wishes for us to be, and that is tortured and violent against ourselves or against others. And if we understand the work of the Gospel, it is that He looks in your eyes and He offers you the tender, clear knowledge of what you have done, who you have harmed, how you have harmed your own heart. And then what he offers is the promise of this, what the psalmist says in Psalm 139:17: ‘My thoughts about you are precious.’” - Dan Alle

I see now that God’s glory is heavy, but it is not just heavy with love, it also heavy with truth and justice, and I do not believe that you can have one without the other.

While I believe that obedience is required for my salvation, I do not believe that God ever meant for His gift of salvation to feel like a burden to me. I do not believe that He wants me to feel like I have to “work” for something that He freely gives to me.  Therefore, I see now that my obedience is required, not to please Him, but to SAVE ME.  But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. James 1:22 ESV

“I have not departed from the commands of his lips; I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.”- Job 23:12 Daily Bread is a collection of resources including devotionals, podcasts, articles, messages, and writings from Seek First and other trusted sources to help guide you to His kingdom. Daily Bread doesn't go out every day, the purpose of these resources are to be intentional about the message God wants delivered and sometimes, that includes waiting o

I was lost. I am not talking about being lost many years ago, but about recently. When I finally got to really looking at me, I realized I was not in the location I thought I was in. I’m not sure I would have made the cut had the trumpet sounded, as I truly believe that I was lost. I’m thankful that God allowed me to hear the message loud and clear: I cannot rescue myself, so I desperately need a Savior to come save me. He wants to walk with me or more accurately, He wants m

I believe that part of my personal pursuit for the Kingdom of God is to obediently share my testimony, and it is my prayer that my voice will simply help you hear the voice of your Heavenly Father more clearly in your own life. I simply want to encourage you to return to seeking first the Kingdom of God in all that you do, so you will not have to be anxious about tomorrow.

Every day there are new headlines or a new social media post that shocks my conscience. Daily. I do not believe that I am alone in feeling like every time I look, there is something more outrageous than when I looked last. It’s exhausting, and it seems that the more tired we all grow, the more it seems we all lash out. It is a machine that our society can’t seem to stop feeding. From that perspective, it’s easy to see why so many people are losing hope. That’s why the Bride o

But, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

Do not be discouraged by the failures of man, instead look up and WORSHIP HIM, the One True and Living God.

Whose kingdom will you be advancing in 2026?

God doesn't want you just to beleive in him. He wants you to follow him. The questions is, where to begin?
