Take 2-3 minutes to quiet yourself and ask God to speak to you today through your devotional time.
Reading: 1 Peter 2:4–10
Be sure to highlight or note anything that stands out to you while you read.
After reading the passage, take the next 5-10 minutes and spend time reflecting on what you read. You can write these things down in a journal or record them in your phone. Be attentive to both what you highlighted in the passage and what is going on in your life.
Every structure needs a solid foundation—and for us, that foundation is Jesus. When we build our lives on other things—success, comfort, or reputation—we end up unstable.
Now, take 10 minutes to seek God in prayer…
- Begin your time in prayer by taking 1-3 minutes to sit in silence (You can take longer if you sense the Spirit already beginning to speak to you).
- Pray through the things you sensed God speaking to you through the Scriptures or pray the following prayer: Jesus, help me to build every part of my life on You—the true Cornerstone. Strengthen me to stand firm in faith when life feels uncertain.
- Close by taking 5 minutes to sit in silence, asking God if there is anything else He wants to speak to you today.
Take Action:
- Evaluate one area of your life (work, relationships, habits) and ask: “Is this built on Jesus?”
- Spend time in worship today, declaring Jesus as the foundation of your life.
