Seeking God first

My sister in law is in the hospital as I write this. She has diverticulitis and is receiving antibiotics. As we were talking, we got to talking about work. We both work for the same healthcare system. We were talking about how tight things are in the healthcare industry with the new laws; etc. Money is tight all around. There are many changes and it's been tough. 

As we were talking I got a little anxious about my job. What if I lost it? How could we cope financially? Could I find another job as a Physical Therapist? Thoughts filled with worry clouded my mind as we conversed. 

After we finished talking I turned to Twitter to look over the news feed. One of tweets was Matthew 6:33. What a blessing! Jesus promised in this verse that if we seek Gods kingdom, then He will supply ALL of our needs! No need to worry! If I keep my job He will supply! If I lose my job, He will supply! God is in control! 

So what does it mean to seek Gods kingdom? Gods kingdom is a place where Gods will is perfectly done in all things. Therefore to seek Gods kingdom is to seek His will for our life and then follow that will. We seek and we obey! But the verb seek is one of continuous action. It's not a one time thing. In other words we should daily seek Gods will for our life. Each day we should ask God to direct and guide us. As we seek, and humbly submit to His will, He promises He will supply ALL our needs!

So if you are worrying, turn daily to God and submit to His will and know that He will provide all your needs!
