Devotion: Seek Ye First
got a two'fer today...
-------------------
Seek Ye First
Matthew 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you..."
Dear friends, it is all about PRIORITIES! You would not believe how many lives are messed up because they don't have their priorities right, and I am talking about Christians. I hear many people talk about how things in their lives and in their homes are not going right. If you listen to people talk long enough that have these problems, most of the time it is all because their priorities are not right. IF OUR PRIORITIES ARE NOT IN ORDER, NOTHING IN OUR LIFE WILL BE IN ORDER!
Our devotion scripture is really the key to a very good life. "But seek YE FIRST," is sounds too simple doesn't it? Surely there must be something else that we must do. GET THIS, our lives, our homes, the lives of our children, our communities, OUR NATION; all would make a 180 degree change for the better if ALL WOULD "SEEK YE FIRST."
"Seek first, the Kingdom of God and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS!" That alone is all it takes! I guess you could call it, 'THE CURE ALL FOR WHAT IS WRONG!" We could call it the MEDICATION for all sickness! So here is what I am going to prescribe for us all to do, every morning when we get up, SEEK GOD FIRST, PLACE HIM, HIS WILL FIRST IN OUR MINDS AND OUR LIFE, every day, every morning.
Look at this verse again; there is a promise at the end of it. It tells us plainly that if we will seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, look, "AND ALL THESE THINGS SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU." If people would just follow the plan of God, the way of God, they would find that their lives would be so much better. TRY IT!

1 Timothy 3:16
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness:
God was manifested in the flesh,
Justified in the Spirit,
Seen by angels,
Preached among the Gentiles,
Believed on in the world,
Received up in glory.
