Seek Ye First: The Last

The day is done, the sun has gone down, it's time for bed and you have given sought God first. But know what do you do? This year I started out on this journey to make it a point to have my time with God in the morning before I start my day. To say I have been perfect is not something I can say for when I was sick, I did not do so well. Other than that time I have been pretty good. and since the holiday series, I have changed things up and so I seek God first when I wake for there is time there that can have anything happen before I do my time with God. 

The Lord will send His goodness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night,

A prayer to the God of my life. Psalm 42:8. When we seek God first, we will be with us throughout our day. but then night falls and what do we do. we should still seek God first at night before bed. For me and (I do not know for you) saying seek ye first the Kingdom it will be added, it will be given, it will be taken care of and then it can be as simple as a prayer. I will bless the Lord who has advised me; Indeed, my mind instructs me in the night. Psalms 16:7. For happens during the day is something we need to guard against and more so in the night for we are asleep and need to guard, our minds, our hearts, and souls.

But be sure of this, that if the head of the house had known at what time of the night the thief was coming, he would have been on the alert and would not have allowed his house to be broken into. Matthew 24:43. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly. John 10:10. The thief comes at night and if do not seek God first at night he can come to take away all that we did during the day to seek God.

We wake up praising God, but do we praise Him in the night when it is time for bed. For me, this is the area I need to work on and it may never be perfect, but it is something I can strive for.

So, ask do you seek God at night first?

Do you praise Him for the day?

Do you guard yourself for the night?

Do you surround yourself with God at night?

Just as we should do these things in the morning, we should also do them at night. So, take time to answer these questions and meditate on them, and put them into practice. For there is no formula I can give you but seek the Bible and it will direct you. Have a blessed day!!!
