Seek First |
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE |
“All night long I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek for God...” |
(Isaiah 26:9, NLT) |
TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria |
Jesus
said in Matthew 6, “Seek first the kingdom of God.” That word “seek” is
a strong word. One definition is “to require as a vital necessity.” You
have to see spending time with God as being vital to living a
victorious life because some mornings we think, “I don’t want to get up
early. I don’t feel like reading my Bible. I don’t feel like going to
church today.” But once you get in a habit and see the benefits of how
you feel refreshed and restored, you make better decisions, you’re more
creative, you have God’s favor, and then you’ll think, “I can’t afford
not to do it. When I don’t spend time with God, I don’t feel right.
Something is missing.” “When I don’t go to church I
don’t have the wisdom, the clarity, the direction. I don’t have the
boost that I need for the week.”
Scripture
says, “Seek first.” That indicates that we should take time for God at
the start of the day. Don’t give Him your leftover time. Make Him a part
of your normal routine. Make Him your first priority. Seek Him first,
seek Him earnestly, and watch what He will do on your behalf.
|
A PRAYER FOR TODAY |
Father, today I choose to put You first. I acknowledge that without You, I can do nothing. I invite You to have Your way in my life as I seek You first in all that I do in Jesus’ name. Amen. |
— Joel & Victoria Osteen |
