Day 1 was a wake up call.
I found myself worrying about my sources today, meaning money. As I sat down at lunch at one of my fave restaurants, I pulled up the calculator on my phone and began adding, subtracting, & multiplying the figures of my monthly income to the figures of my bills this month. Finding myself dissatisfied with what I concluded, I just gave up trying to figure it out.
I believe God gives us days like this to remind us that HE is our source; our financial advisor, our therapist, our loan officer without the deadly interest rates. He reminded me of when He spoke to the disciples during the sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6:25-34. We often quote the infamous verse 33: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you", yet when it's time for His word to perform, we grow afraid. But truly seeking His kingdom first is to release your cares and worries of your personal kingdom (with a little 'k') allotting HIM to be the center of your day. All you can be concerned with is the moment you have right now and focusing in being the best worshiper that you can be TODAY. God knows what we need, when we need it, and how we need it every single time!
Seek His Kingdom first by giving Him yours!
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Philippians 4:6-7
In Him
