Hello Friends,
I usually don’t do this but I know this is for someone, you’ll know if it’s you.
I have misplaced and lost some items that took me time …I mean a long time to find. Some I forgot where I originally kept them, others I removed and placed where I thought I’ll readily reach them but I still struggled to find them. Also, there have been times I went on errands. I love going on errands especially those with a promise – good deal! Now these errands to look for something and return it were my least enjoyable and most times I was able to reach and retrieve the items because of the description I was given ….yeah , the description; and whoever was sending me would say things like : don’t lose the paper , keep it safe do you understand? and they did that because they knew that my success in delivering what was required of me depended on my understanding and doing what was described.
Sometimes I lost the descriptions or didn’t remember; other times, I did but decided to take along some extra bits just in case I needed them and save myself the hassle of going back again. More than often, I ended up going back without obtaining the promise which I shouldn’t have had I searched, and followed the description.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Friend, I don’t know what you’re seeking today and don’t want to guess but can I encourage you to seek God, His Kingdom, His righteousness, can I? it needs to be your topmost priority, your first and foremost, the prime…the main thing. You have the description!
This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is WRITTEN therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Joshua 1:8
Did you read that? We need read the book of the law – The Bible – The word of God, speak it, meditate on it, observe to do all that is written…. and then we will make our way prosperous. You won’t have to do same journey twice or more …only then will you and I have good success….obtain the promise and enjoy all the benefits.
Friend, God is speaking to you and I, He’s saying “Seek Me First ”
What will you do?
