But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness . . . and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.
It’s critical for us to realize that God must be our number one priority in every area of our lives. How can we ever hope to have order in our lives if we don’t know how to put the most important things first—ahead of everything else?
I tried for many years to work God into my schedule without ever finding the time. Each night I felt guilty because I had failed to spend time with God, and I promised myself the next day would be different, but sadly it was a repeat of the day before. I had good intentions, but procrastination got the better of me.
The answer to my problem was simple, and it’s the same answer for yours: Make God the first priority! Take time first thing each day to communicate with your Father in heaven who loves you and wants to be involved in all that you do. If we are too busy for time with God, then we are too busy with things that don’t deserve the place of importance we are giving them. If you’ll make Him your first priority, everything else will fall into place.
Prayer of the Day: Father, forgive me for the times I have put other things before You. Help me make You my first priority each day, trusting everything else will fall into place, amen.
