Good morning, Lord
Father in Heaven, I seek You first-the knowledge of Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Fill my consciousness constantly and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…
Memory verse: Jeremiah 15:19 ESV
Therefore thus says the Lord: “If you return, I will restore you, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth. They shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them.”
Verse of the day: Matthew 24:35 “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.”
What Are ‘These Things’
“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you” (Matt. 6:33)
Jesus tells us not to worry about all the things we need. But what are ‘these things’ he says will ‘be added to you’ in Matthew 6:33?
We will answer by saying what ‘these things’ are not. These things are not what we think we need but what God knows is called for us to do the mission in life He has set before each of us. We think we know what we need. We many times even argue with God over what we need because we think we know best-and there it is.
Jesus tells us not to worry and get off our ‘high horse’ and put Him on the throne of our lives. So, we must get down off our high and lofty perches and stop elevating our ‘old self’.
We must let Jesus be Lord in our minds so we can really see what His calling calls for.
Love the new self-not the old one. The new self wants what God wants. The new self trusts God to provide and revels in God’s security.
God says He will provide and He will and He does. We have to get our old self out of the way so we can see the truth.
So tell God that You want Jesus to really be Lord and you want to live in conscious awareness of His divine security so you can joyfully serve Him for His glory.
...because He loves us...He will do it…
Father in Heaven,
Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come and Your will be done in my heart and mind. Let me see Your divine provision today. Forgive me for chasing after my old self. Lead me away from lusting after what I do not need.
God of real life,
In the name of Jesus,
Amen
