God First; then Extras
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you."
~ Matthew 6:33
"Let your life open in the same way. Seek with your whole soul, first and foremost, the Kingdom of God as the place of your citizenship, and His Righteousness as the character of your life. As for the rest, it will come from the Lord Himself without your being anxious concerning it. All that is needful for this life and godliness "shall be added to you."
What a promise this is! Food, raiment, home, and so forth, God undertakes to add to you while you seek Him. You mind His business, and He will mind ours. And just so, all that we need of earthly things we shall have thrown in with the Kingdom. Away with anxious care; set all your mind upon seeking the Lord. Trust in God is an estate, and likeness to God is a heavenly inheritance." (By: Charles H. Spurgeon ~ One Minute Devotions)
Please pray this prayer with me this morning. Our Father who art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us of our sins, our debts, and our trespasses against You and man, as we forgive those who are indebted to us, and those who have trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all evil: For Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Honor, and the Glory, forever. It is in Christ Jesus' Precious Name, Amen!
