Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
So many times our lives seem hopeless and without direction.
We get up each morning, shower, eat and head off to work. We come home, eat dinner, get things done, try to spend some time with our family and then we go off to bed. The next day we repeat the process. And so the cycle goes.
It seems like an endless loop. Like a hamster on one of those wheels, where they run and run, but never get anywhere. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
As a child of God, a follower of Christ, our lives should be different. How? By putting God first in everything.
If we seek God first, so many other things in our lives will fall into place. No, our problems won’t magically disappear. But putting God first puts everything else in proper perspective. And it helps us keep our priorities straight.
When our priorities are straight, we tend to make wiser decisions and better choices. And, whether we’re happy or not doesn’t depend on how our day goes or how we happen to feel at the moment.
Instead, we draw our strength from God. And everything about our lives revolves around our walk with Him. We no longer rely on our jobs, our careers, our families, our friends or our financial situation for our happiness.
So, go ahead. Put God first. We dare you!
