Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
There are many things that vie for our time and attention.
As a follower of Christ, our walk with God should always come first. Everything we do should revolve around our relationship with God. The choices we make, the things we do, the things we spend our time on and the thoughts we think should all have God right smack in the center of them.
God should be the center of each and every life decision we make. But sometimes we can get a bit off kilter. If we’re not careful, we can get busy with too many things and before we know it, we’ve pushed God aside in favor of other things.
This doesn’t usually happen intentionally. It just sort of creeps up on us.
Where our priorities are at will dictate how our life goes. When God is first in our life, everything else about our life will be in its proper place. We will have peace and joy, no matter what we face.
This doesn’t mean that we will live a perfect life, free of problems and trials. It means that as we face those things that come against us, we will have His peace to walk us through them.
And it means that our relationship with Him will stay strong, giving us a firm foundation to build our life on.
And, as part of that strong walk with God, our mind will be filled with thoughts that are edifying and pleasing to Him.
Philippians 4:8 (NKJV) 8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
