Seek God First

Sometimes it's hard to focus on God when there are so many things that occupy our time each day. Work, school, family, friends, hobbies, bills to pay, chores that need to be done, etc., etc. These are the things we usually focus on most throughout the day and we really don't allow God to fit into any of "our space". We often times try to fit God into any spare space we've got but He's often times more of an afterthought and/or an urgent thought if something goes wrong.

Today this passage came to mind: (Matthew 6:28 -34) "And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin.Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, `What shall we eat?' or `What shall we drink?' or `What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Both you and I need to seek after God first and not to be so concerned about those things that occupy most of our time. Please don't get me wrong; all of these other things are important and needs to be taken care of, but we need to seek God first and He will take care of the rest. Pray daily to our Heavenly Father and seek after His face. He knows exactly what you and I are going through and need, so go to the only source that can give us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. God is great and He loves us more than we could ever imagine!
