Seek Ye First
What are we to seek? Money, wealth, good health, food, shelter... The bible is clear in what we are to seek. Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." Sometimes we feel we have need of so much and yet our needs are not being met, that's when we must stop and ask are we seeking needs or wants? God says that He will "supply all our needs according to his riches in glory." Phillippians 4:19 God gives us what we need when we need it, not what we want when we want it.
I am reminded of this lesson once again as I read the following verses a friend shared with me today.
Isaiah 55:6-7 AMP
[6] Seek, inquire for, and require the Lord while He may be found claiming Him by necessity and by right; call upon Him while He is near. [7] Let the wicked forsake his way and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to the Lord, and He will have love, pity, and mercy for him, and to our God, for He will multiply to him His abundant pardon.
Lord I pray that you'd help me to seek ye first and to trust in your provisions. Lord give me wisdom to wait upon your promises as I aspire to do your will. Thank you Lord for your word that encourages, directs, and strengthens. In Jesus name I pray!
