Seeking God First
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33
I worry sometimes. Ok, so I worry – a lot! Sometimes it’s about something serious, like my family’s finances. Sometimes it’s about trivial things like my appearances, both physically and relationally. I worry about things that just don’t matter, sometimes.
So why am I so caught up with what other people thinks of me? Jesus plainly told me that the birds don’t care. The flower’s don’t care. God takes care of nature’s needs. God will certainly takes care of me!
I should not be worried. I need to seek God first – then everything else will fall into place.
Lord, I thank you for your kingdom. I submit my life to you, Jesus. I don’t want to submit to this world. I don’t want to submit to my worries on what other people think of me. You, Jesus, matter to me so I seek you first. I’ve accepted you, Lord – and you said you will provide – you will give me grace. And that’s all I ever need. In your loving arms, I stay. Amen.
