But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 (KJV)
Message:
Seeking God first is more than opening your Bible in the morning, saying a prayer before work or attending church every Sunday. It is choosing to let Him influence how you live, what you pursue, the decisions you make and the things you consider important. You cannot claim to seek God’s direction while making every decision without considering His will.
The question, therefore, is not whether you make time for God, but whether your life makes room for His authority.
God should not be an addition to your plans. He should be the foundation upon which you build them.
Midweek Challenge:
Before making an important decision, pursuing an opportunity or committing to a new plan, pause and seek God’s wisdom.
Prayer:
Father, forgive me for the times I have placed my plans, ambitions and concerns ahead of Your will. Teach me to seek You sincerely, not only when I need something, but because You deserve my devotion. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
