Seek Ye First: A Story, No Food, Then Seek

A man told me that this lady needed to feed her kids but had no money and she had water for three days and probably more because she had no money. Now whether she had Jesus or not I do not know. Of course, she needed Jesus. But we all have bills and have needs. God does not magically pay your bills, but He can. God does not say your bills are not important but is with us in paying them. We have needs and God doesn't say, I will not help you or go through them with you but God says I will be with you and help you through it all. But just like things that we and are discussed in Matthew chapter 6 verse 25 which says, 25 For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is life not more than food, and the body more than clothing? Going further we talked about where you will live. I believe bills fall under this category. 31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we to wear for clothing?’ 3But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided to you. 

We are not to worry about those things, but we do and that is why I think we do not get the help and the blessing of God, for we are hung up on things of the flesh not the things of Jesus. That is the first point I wanted to mention. Jesus says to cast your care/anxiety unto me in 1 Peter 5:7. 7 casting all your anxiety upon him, because he careth for you. This verse does not say what anxiety you want to give Him but to give Him all your anxiety onto Him Because He cares for us. God cares for His people who He has called and who are Christians. If we seek God with our whole heart, why then do we worry or have anxiety knowing that God is with us, will help us, and will protect us from evil. There is so much freedom when we give all that stuff To God and only seek Him and His Kingdom. For I believe when we do this we can go to another level in His Kingdom, and we can be more of what God wants us to look like and what God has planned for our lives.

My second point is through it all seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Instead of worry seek Jesu! instead of anxiety seek Jesus1 instead of where the money will come from seek Jesus! Instead of needs in Jesus, you seek Jesus first and He will provide all your needs. This is an action to do this, we have to say Matthew Chapter 6 verse 33 and then know that he will provide those things.

I will finish this up tomorrow on this.
