First Things First!

Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;and all these things shall be added unto you."
   

  We are living in very uncertain times. These days it is very hard for one to plan ahead, we have people in Washington who can't seems to come together on what is best for the American people. One side pulling this way and the other side pulling that way, and we are left in the middle full of doubt and uncertainties.We just don't know, will we have a job ,can we pay the bills, will we have a place to live, what will we eat and what shall we wear. We just don't know what we should do, yes  these are some tough times.But we have comfort in God's word. He says "take no thought",don't wrap yourself in the cares of this world. Take no thought for what you will eat, or wear for your father in heaven knows you have need of these things.Take no thought for tomorrow for tomorrow will take care of itself."But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and these things shall be added unto you."

 The word says "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and these things shall be added unto you".God has a "but" for everyone of our doubts and fears. God gave us everything we would need to live a peaceful abundant life when he gave us Jesus. So he says "seek ye first";This has to be the first thing on our agenda, let him who is first have the first: the first of our thoughts, the first of our day, the first of all our fruits, let all our waking thoughts be of God first, In all thy ways acknowledge him and he shall direct thy path. "seek ye first the kingdom of God" Let us truly seek him. Seek him like lost car keys,when we are about to be late to work. Turn over everything , move everything, move all things and people which might hinder you seeking and finding the kingdom of God.This action will bring you to a moment of self actulization, allowing you to see where you are, in contrast to where God needs you to be, if you truly him . He says" But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness" When seeking the kingdom, make sure you also seek the righteousness of that kingdom; Jesus the righteousness of God, seek him diligently for he is a rewarder of them who diligently seek him.

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you" When we put first things first, we can truly take no thought for the cares of this world.He said "all these things shall be added unto you" God promises us the things we have need of ,but we must put first things first.Then we can rest in the peace of our Lord and savior who told us "Be of good cheer for  I have overcome the world". When God gave us Jesus he truly supplied our every need.
