Matthew 6:31-34 (NASB95) 31 “Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 “For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. 34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
Seek first His kingdom.
Seek Him first…worry less. Worry is a lack of faith. Instead of fretting over our circumstances, give our worries to the Lord. We need to exchange our burden for His.
We can rest, y’all.
Our God is bigger than any of our circumstances. It doesn’t mean that we won’t have struggles…
Each day’s trouble must answer to the authority of God.
His Kingdom…His will. Seek first His kingdom. Not our will. Not what we desire.
We can trust Him. He is faithful. He has a plan.
Hebrews 13:8 (NASB95)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Though our world is ever-changing, the Lord remains steadfast. It feels like America has lost our mind.
The Lord knows what each day holds for us. He isn’t just standing back and watching us. He walks with us. He is here.
Seek first His kingdom.
Not my desires. Not what I want to happen today. Seek His will for my life. He will open the doors.
My prayer over the summer was that I wanted to be where He wants me. It may not look like anything I had envisioned. Seriously — I’m a high school teacher in a 3rd grade classroom and coaching middle school volleyball….neither of those were ever on my radar. But God…oh He had plans that I couldn’t see. A diagnosis that was not even on anyone’s radar when I resigned the job I have loved. Still no diagnosis when I turned down two other positions.
But the Lord knew what was ahead. He had all things aligned. Seek first His kingdom.
His purpose for our lives is unchanging. Our purpose is to know Him and make Him known.
Love God. Love people. Seek His kingdom first. He will put everything else in line.
