Verse of the day

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."- Matthew 6:33 Today's passage is from the New International Version. Hugs, Sandyd

Thanks Sandy! You know, sometimes it's so easy to seek Him first - and other times, I go with "my plan" (never a good idea!). Hopefully, I will learn more and more to seek Him first - ! Have a great day! - Carolyn

Carolyn and Edna, when you read Matthew 6 with the verses before it they are so very comforting to us all and if we could just keep them in our mind how blessed we would be. Matthew 6:25-34 NKJV 25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? 28 "So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 "Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Hugs, Sandyd

I love the Sermon on the Mount. It is so full of plain teaching, and this is the best. We used to sing this in a chorus at my old church. I sure wish I would heed this verse on a more regular basis, though. I find myself sometimes jumping into things feet first, and then looking back and saying, "Where is God in this situation, and why didn't I seek His guidance first?" Thanks for your faithfulness. Hugs, Trish
