Who’s Number One?
Who’s number one in your life today?
Matthew 6:25-34 Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what
ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life
more than meat, and the body than raiment? (26) Behold the fowls of the
air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet
your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? (27) Which
of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? (28) And why
take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they
grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (29) And yet I say unto you,
That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (30) Wherefore,
if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is
cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little
faith? (31) Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (32) (For after all
these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that
ye have need of all these things. (33) But seek ye first
the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be
added unto you. (34) Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day
is the evil thereof (KJV)
Our number one priority should always be
to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness in and through all
things so that He can add unto us that which is needed Spiritually so that
we can make it through today victoriously; and if we will do that He will
take care of everything else that we have need of as well physically. The
very hairs on your and my head is numbered, He knows what we have need of
before we even ask; so when we keep Him first and foremost He is able to do
abundantly above and beyond what we could ever ask or think. He is a
rewarder of those who diligently seek Him, and all the cares and concerns
of this life He will take care of if we allow Him to. So…
Matthew 6:32-34 Steep your life in
God-reality, God-initiative, God-provisions. Don’t worry about missing out.
You’ll find all your everyday human concerns will be met. Give your entire
attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about
what may or may not happen to morrow. God will help you deal with whatever
hard things come up when the time comes. (from The Message)
There is freedom in now faith because
that is where the Lord is, and that is where your strength will be to
overcome the everyday cares and concerns of this life. So today, my beloved
brethren, keep your heart and mind set on things above where Christ is
seated at the right hand side of God, cast your care unto Him and cease
from your own works and allow Him to work on your behalf. Let Him be your number
one priority today, and let Him add unto you daily as He knows you have
need of.
