Summary: What should we put priority on in our lives as Christians
Matthew Chapter 6 verses 31-33.
31 Therefore take no thought saying. What shall we eat? or what shall we drink? or wherewithal shall we ve clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for you heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you.
I have to introduce this by telling a short story of my own life. It wasn't to long ago that I had very little interest in Jesus or God the only time that I would give them any thought at all was when I had back myself so far in a corner that there was no way out. Then and only then would I turn to God for help. Well let me tell you that doesn't always work out. We all go through our lives making plans about we are going to do this and we are going to do that and never even give a thought to talking to God about what we are planning. God made us and he loves us and wants to hear from us. We would rather as a friend for help before we as God. I think that is because we can see our friend standing right in front of us when we as for help and we get and immediate answer from our friend. If they are willing help us how do we know that is the best course of action for us to take? Did we as God first for his help? "Seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness: and all these things will be added to you. To seek the Kingdom of God you must first accept Jesus as you savior. John Chapter 14 verse 6 Jesus saith unto him I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
So before you can ask God for anything you must first accept Jesus as his Son and you Savior. You must believe that God sent his Son perfect and without sin to Earth to be a sacrifice without blemish for all our sins. If you truely believe and tell God that you are a sinner and ask Him to forgive you of your sins in Jesus name he will hear you and you shall be saved.
For that point you will have a true friend that when you have a problem you can go to. I will also say this when God solves a problem it is solved, there is no what if questions about it.
In conclusion seek first the Kingdom of God and you can only do that through Jesus his soon. If you do that you will then have a relationship with God the Father who according to the Bible will meet you every need. May God bless you all through Jesus Christ His Son Amen.
