Just a thought for this morning

I was reading and got to thinking.  Matthew 6:33 tells us to seek first HIS Kingdom and his HIS righteousness and all these things will be given to us as well.  Then I thought about my my life.  What is first place in my life.  A good way for me to measure that is by looking at what I have spent money on each month, what I do first thing in the morning and what means most to me of all my possessions.  The answers are clear.   God should be first in everything.  I am speaking to me.  I need to place HIM first and foremost in my life and everything else will fall into place just as it should.  What is first in your life???

Indeed, Carmen!  Sometimes I get so busy worrying about the trees in the forest instead of the forest, when I really need to concentrate on the Creator of both!
Love ya, Nanci

Hi Carmen

We have been going to this group at our church called Alpha.It teaches us about learning things about the Bible and God.So ever since then I have been so High on Jesus that I have put him first and foremost.I used to think how could I put God before my children but now things were put into perspective through this group and NOW I see how now.Put him first and everything else falls into place thereafter.Without Him I wouldn't be me.I don't worry as much anymore because I know I have placed all my burdens on Him and know He will take care of them for me in His way and in His time for I no longer have as much stress on me as I did in the past!!! I grew up not knowing the Bible or even having a relationship with God till I was 18 when I almost lost my life.God has spared me 4 times over. I have yet to find out what is God's Will for me. I just know I can't wait to find out what is in store for me.God has guided me so far.I have gone through this life learning my lessons and I will go through more.All I know is God sure does LOVE ME for ME.With that being said how could I go wrong?
P.S. Our group minister told us to read the Bible and you WILL find all the answers you are looking for.You got to open your heart first.God will lead you to the scriptures you need to hear the most first.


With God's Great Love,
Brandy

That sounds great, Brandy.  Yes...if you place God first in ALL you do, He will lead and guide you in every aspect of your life.  I have doing it my way in the past, but that does not work.  God is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient.  Therefore, what do I have to worry about!!  Keep on reading and studying His Word.  That is our guidebook and rule book.  Have a wonderful day!!!
