Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Seeking God and His righteousness, before seeking anything else, should be our goal as a follower of Christ. Doing this on a personal level is the key to how all these things are added to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As we grow as a Christian, we learn to work toward allowing God to become everything<\/em> in our life. We surrender even those things that we think are for us <\/em>to decide on, and we give it to Him so He can show us what He has to say regarding them<\/p>\n

It\u00a0takes time to learn this.\u00a0We will notice that on some days it is easier to do than other days. Why is this?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Because our emotions and feelings are fickle. One day we can decide on something, and the next day we can change and do just the opposite. We can be quite indecisive at times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Giving God control over our lives, even when we are feeling in control, is\u00a0the first step.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For example, when we pull back and say, “Lord, I believe I know what I need to do in this situation, however,\u00a0I would like you to\u00a0confirm it for me and show me, just in case I may be off in any way”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That is one way to get His answer and direction. Seek Him first. Don’t just take steps and then have to pay for it later. Put some time and effort\u00a0into it and really go after Him for His counsel and direction.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He is speaking to some today and asking if we are willing to seek Him and His righteousness first, that He may, in return, add to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
