Category: Seeking God First

Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Because we live in the world, it will take up much of our time if we don’t set the boundaries. Without those boundaries, the time we spend “trying to seek God” or being with Him will be next to nothing.

Seeking God and His righteousness first will bring a sense of stability and peace. Why? Because as we obey God with this verse, He promises us that all these things shall be added to us.

How do we seek Him? Through prayer, reading His word, and praise and worship.

Let’s talk about what happens when we spend time with God in prayer, in His word, and when we praise and worship Him.

It’s through prayer we can approach Him; He will give us guidance and provision as we cry out to Him.

Praying causes our faith to become stronger. It helps us to do things we never thought we could do as we learn through answered prayers how to trust Him more.

Praying will help us if we have anxiety. It actually causes worrying to subside because our faith grows as we spend time with Him.

Most importantly, prayer helps us build and strengthen our relationship with God.

Reading God’s word is just as crucial.

It will help us to grow spiritually, gain wisdom, and it provides us with comfort. These things strengthen us.

His word guides us in our daily lives, helping us to make right choices.

Reading God’s word also helps sharpen our discernment.

It brings peace and gives us much hope.

Praising and worshiping Him will draw us into His presence. And we will feel our burdens lifted as we surrender and we melt into His arms.

God is faithful to show up. And oh, what a difference it will make in our daily activities.

Call time out today. Seek after Him, and watch how things will change!
