Seek God’s Kingdom First
“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
Have you experienced times when you’ve wanted something really bad but, instead of getting it, you got something different? Sometimes you may have been disappointed but I’ve actually had times where what I received was more of a blessing than what I’d thought I wanted. It’s those times when I’m reminded that we truly are most blessed when we focus on Christ, present our needs and desires to Him and allow Him to move instead of attempting to manipulate the situation to get what we think we want.
It can be hard at times but I find that God knows me better than I know myself so I begin each day looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me. Sometimes it’s things I’m sure I DON’T want and other times I couldn’t have thought of anything I’d want more but, in both situations, God knows what’s best for me and it does work together for good. He is so faithful and His love so strong. I can’t picture life without Him, nor would I want to!
