Fully Seek God.

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭

I hear a lot of people say, "But first coffee." Drinking coffee isn't a sin or something I'm saying is, but the first thing we should do in the mornings is pray. It should be but first Jesus. See when we start our day with God, keep Him in the middle of our day, and finish our day with God that shows that God is our priority. In today's day and age, the world wants us to fill ourselves with worldly things to the point of us forgetting that we need God until things aren't good in life. A relationship with God isn't praying when you need something from Him, He is our friend and our Father, He is not a genie. If our friends only wanted something to do with us when they needed something from us or needed something in general then they wouldn't be very good friends, that isn't the kind of friend anyone wants to have around. God doesn't want a relationship that depends on when things are rough, He wants a committed daily all-day relationship with us. Today, make sure God is first and other things find their place in your life, not the other way around. God is the most important person in our lives and deserves our full attention and us to be fully committed to making sure we work on that relationship with Him every day. You cannot learn more about God if you're too busy chasing the world. God is first and foremost and He is a jealous God. He wants to be first in all aspects not just when it benefits you. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “You must worship no other gods, for the Lord, whose very name is Jealous, is a God who is jealous about his relationship with you.” Exodus‬ ‭34:14‬ ‭ ““The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.” Matthew‬ ‭13:44‬ ‭ “God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church.” Ephesians‬ ‭1:22‬ ‭ ““You must not have any other god but me.” Exodus‬ ‭20:3‬ ‭

Happiness That Will Never Fulfill.

“Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭37:4‬ ‭ Happiness is something we are all searching for in life, it's something that we each want to feel. I have come to realize if I want to feel happiness it begins with finding God. I will never be happy in this world when I don't have God in my life. Although people think they might be happy on earth now, there will come a time for eternity and if their lives are full of sin then happiness will never last. Believing that this world can satisfy your soul is only lying to yourselves. You have to find a true meaningful relationship with God and work on it everyday, you aren't called to be perfect but you have to make an effort. God knows your heart, and if you're trying He sees that. Today, spend time truly seeking God for the happiness you're searching for. This earth cannot fill your soul. Here are some verses to reflect on today. “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken sp...

Wait Patiently!

“Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord.” Psalms‬ ‭27:14‬ ‭ If God is making you wait, then wait patiently. Nothing in the waiting is a waste. I remember a time in my life where I was praying for something, I waited years and seem to receive no answer. I waited and waited. Somedays I was impatient and cried all day, other days I waited with patience of steel and praised God for what I knew I would someday receive. Sometimes the waiting is easy, other times it is an uphill battle. Whenever we are waiting we will go through different seasons, but we can count on the fact that God is at work for us. The waiting is important and a lesson is somewhere in the midst. Today, whatever it is God is having you wait for know that the season of waiting is often a time you look back on as a blessing. Even if it doesn't feel like a blessing now someday you will see how close the waiting brought you to God. When we are waiting we often spend more tim...

Don't Forget God!

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians‬ ‭4:6‬ ‭ Don't forget God when you receive what you are praying for. God knows the things that we want the most, and often times He does give us what we want. When God does give us the things we want we have to stop and give thanks. It's like this, if you give someone a gift that you know they have really been wanting, something they will absolutely love, and they don't even say thank you it would hurt your feelings. It would make you feel like they don't appreciate you. If someone asked how they got the gift and they said they got it for themselves it would make you hurt also. When God gives us what we are praying for we need to shout from the rooftops that God done it for us, that He made a way. We need to thank God, telling everyone about it. We should be excited to tell others about God and all the wonderful things He does for us. Toda...
