Thoughts while Traveling

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all
these things shall be added to you.

To seek means to search for and go after.

Most of us read the words "seek first" and start thinking about first,
second, and third in terms of priorities. We say, "Put God first,
family second, and job third," and we try to do all those things. I
think we are missing the point. God is saying that He is first, above
all else. The author of Proverbs wrote, "In all your ways acknowledge
Him, / And He shall direct your paths" (Prov. 3:6 nkjv).

When He says,
"seek first," that means your relationship with Him should be so close that you
check with Him before you move to the next place. If you do that, you
will experience one of the most wonderful relationships in your life,
and it will be with the Holy Ghost. After a while you will not even
have to ask!

Your spirit will automatically acknowledge Him, and you will not have
to check your priorities. When God is your guide, He will tell you
when to invest time in the family and when to focus on the job. He
will tell you when you are spending too much time at work and need to
be home. He will warn you if you have not done enough with your
children. He even will let you know when you need to get off of that
sofa and go exercise. When you search for and pri e your time with
Him more than any other, He will show you how to live. In the process,
He also will keep you healthy and thinking and experiencing wholesome
things that enrich your life. This is the life of a lamb under the
guidance of the Good Shepherd. Today's

Jesus, I want to acknowledge You in all that I do. I know that You will direct my paths. I do not want it to be a "religious" thing where I always "check my priorities." I want it to be asnatural as breathing. Lord. I am seeking after You.
