Seek
The Kingdom Of God Above All Else,
And
Live Righteously,
And
He Will Give You Everything You Need.
Scripture
Matthew
6
25 “That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have
enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more
than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look
at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns,
for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more
valuable to him than they are? 27 Can
all your worries add a single moment to your life?
31 “So
don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What
will we drink? What will we wear?’
33 Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will
give you everything you need.
Observation
If
you are going to memorize any verse in the Bible to add to the verses
that you might already know then I would suggest memorizing Matthew
6:33 and putting it into practice.
Here's
why: When you and I put God first in our lives, when He is our #1
priority, then He promises to take care of everything that we need in
this life. Is that a huge promise or what!
People
come to Mission Tampa's food pantry for help because they do not have
enough food and as I counsel and talk with them I almost always share
with them this wonderful promise!
If
you are struggling in your marriage or with a relationship, or with
finances and you came to me for advice, one of the first things I
would share with you is Matthew 6:33.
Life
only works right if we do life the way that God designed it to work
and that is always making sure that God has first place in our
hearts!
How
do we put God first? We pray and surrender our lives to Him. If you
have never surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ, then do
that right now.
If
you know that you are a child of God but you have allowed other
things to take God's number One spot in your heart then confess that
right now to the Lord and ask Him to retake the number One spot in
your life again.
And
yes, get back (or start for the first time) going to church. Church
attendance doesn't save us but it helps us keep God where He should
be ... in that #1 spot!
Application
I
will make sure that God is in the #1 place in my life. How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You are a jealous God. You created me. Everything that I have
comes from You. And You want the #1 place in my life. Lord, make sure
that I keep You in that spot. Don't let me allow anything to take
Your place. I want You to always be number One and Kathy to always be
in the number 2 place in my heart!
Give
anyone reading this blog today the courage and boldness to pray and
yield their lives to You. Bless them Lord as they make You #1!
