Seek First the Kingdom

Throughout the years I have learned that I can never do something important without God backing me up. If I have a big decision to make, or a big event, I need to spend time in prayer seeking the throne of God and asking for His wisdom and guidance. "Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33). The reason why this works is because it is only through Him that we can prosper, and it is only through Him that we are made new and whole. God wants us to come into a loving relationship with Him and for us to get to know His heart. Sometimes we go through times where we're pushed for needs and we worry - but we shouldn't. See, God's given us not a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7). He also says that He knows every hair on our heads and when every sparrow falls. He also gives sparrows the food that they need. Since we are more important than sparrows that means that God will surely provide everything we need. Place your trust/confidence in God and He will definitely come through for you. He has given you His love and a chance at salvation, He will absolutely give you your needs and the desires of your heart - but you have to seek His kingdom first. God bless!!!!

This is also something that I've been having to learn lately, as concerns over college and 'future plans' start popping up! I really do feel overwhelmed by it, but God has been trying to teach me just to rely on him and know that as long as I stay at His side, everything will work out according to His perfect plan.
