BIBLE MEDITATION:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Many Christians are so materialistic that they never look past the physical world to the transcendent Christ above. They only experience what their five senses (touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing) bring to them.
When a problem arises, it blows out every candle in their souls, knocks the sun out of their sky, and they can’t enjoy the daily bread of life that Jesus promises.
ACTION POINT:
For some reading this, you’re in the midst of a gigantic problem that to the world has “disaster” written all over it. If you’re seeking first His righteousness, God will give you all you need. You have God on your side—the King of kings, the Lord of lords. Don’t you forget it.
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
