Seek God First

Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Mat 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.


Do you really believe God will provide for you?

Excerpted from The American Heritage Dictionary


Basically a Gentile is anyone who is not God's.
We are either God's or not God's. We either choose to be with God, or not to be with God.
Those who choose not to be God's are Gentiles and they concern themselves of the things of this world.
Those who choose to be God's have to rely on God for all things. For the very breath they breathe, for the very heart beating in their chests, all of it is by God. Seeking GOD FIRST is our duty. God First.


We too often concern ourselves with everything and put God as an afterthought.


God first means God first!


The first thing we think of upon waking should be God and His will being done in us.
It's not easy for us to do this because we can't grab God up and put Him on us as we might a pair of glasses, or a bath robe, or slippers. What's the first thing you do upon waking? Think about it. Do you put on glasses? Do you shuffle off to the bathroom? Do you wash your face, brush your teeth? There are quite a few things people could do first upon waking, and no matter what you do first unless it is a prayer to God, it shouldn't be done before acknowledging a new day in which to worship, praise, and honor God.


God First!


This is something I've written on before and something I'll probably write on again and again, it's that important and it helps me to remember as well. God first. When we seek the kingdom of God first we are seeking God first. Seeking to be embraced by the forgiveness, the mercy, the grace of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; seeking to live in Christ now and forever.


In the love of Christ.


Amen.
