SEEK GOD FIRST
Scripture: Matthew 6:33



But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

If you do not spend time with the Lord today, the devil will kill, steal and destroy any fruit of the Spirit. The most important thing that allows us to live victorious Christian lives seems to be the hardest thing to maintain on a consistent basis.

We have to understand that the power of the Holy Spirit is released by abiding in the Word. If the devil can keep you from opening the Word, you will be ineffective your walk with God. The Lord wants to instruct you and keep you in the way you should go, but you must spend time with Him for Him to be able to lead you.

Repeatedly, the common excuse is that we are too busy. But I wonder how many of us are as busy as the Lord was. He had many things to do and many lessons to teach in a very short period of time. Yet, He made it a priority to spend time with the Father.

He would rise early, before dawn, just to pray. There was nothing that was more important than or as pressing as spending time with His Father.

If Jesus needed to spend time alone with God, how much more do we need to spend time with Him? If the devil cannot make you bad, he will make you busy. Why? Because all those seemingly valuable things you are doing distracts you from the only thing that really matters for eternity. Even church-oriented events cannot take the place of spending time with the Lord.

Seek Him first thing in the morning, first before any plans are made and first in your thoughts and prayers. No other task can compare to spending quiet time with your Father first thing in the morning.

Prayer: Lord, help me maintain the discipline of spending the first part of every day in prayer and the reading of Your Word. Scriptural Reading: Matthew 6:25-34
