What is 25 minutes to God? What is 25 minutes to the devil? I want to stick to this concept of seeking first the Kingdom. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be provided to you. Luke 12:31. Again I ask, what is 25 minutes to God? What is 25 minutes to the devil? The difference between seeking God first and letting the devil have an inch. I said yesterday that I do not seek Jesus first and needed to. I do not know what that would look like and am still working on what that looks like. That 25 minutes I am getting ready to read the word, blog for Jesus, pray and worship is 25 minutes that the devil can use to knock me off my horse. Put another way, off my mission to worship Jesus and his kingdom.
Those 25 minutes I start thinking about the day and what I must do. I start to think of unholy things that I am not good enough to come into the presence of God or I start to think is God real, what is this all for? These things are not of me but come from what is being said in my mind as being thoughts that come. and do not give the devil an opportunity. Ephesians 4:27. But that is exactly what I do by not Seeking first the kingdom. The devil knows what I am going to do and that is worship and give God praise, so I have given 25 minutes to his will. that is why this seek first the kingdom is stuck in my spirit. this morning I got up early to make my son a bottle and as I was coming down I prayed and said seek first the kingdom and then I went back to bed and did so the same when I arose at 6 to start my day as not to let the devil have an inch.
So, do you seek first the kingdom, or do you let the devil have time to try and do what he can to throw you off your mission and wanting to seek Jesus? I still don't know what it looks like to do this, but the little change hopefully will be just the start or enough. I share all this to say that seek first the kingdom and everything else will fall into place. To tie this into what we have been talking about if we cannot do now on this day to first seek the Kingdom, how will be able to seek first the kingdom first on Thanksgiving? You may be able to seek first the Kingdom on Thanksgiving if we do not do it today. but He deserves that we first seek the kingdom every day not just on one holiday.
So, seek first the Kingdom today and everything will fall into place. Have a blessed day!!!
