Matthew 5:33-34 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else. And live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
I expect we all have plans for this week. For some it’s going to work and chilling out at night, or looking after family or grandchildren, maybe clearing up after the weekend. We all have regular activities we have to do from day to day.
I was reminded in church yesterday that Jesus said He will give us everything we need when we give His kingdom first place and remember we’re actually on assignment for Him each day. We’re His ambassadors, aren’t we, wherever we go? I wonder if we forget that sometimes and seem to have it back to front?
Do we tend to organise everything we have to do first, then fit God in around it, or maybe we squeeze God in at the end of the day and then find we’re too tired to think? Even if we’re not a morning person scripture encourages us to seek God at the start of the day before we do anything else. 🙂
He might have a word of warning, or advice about the best way to do things today, but if we’ve rushed out the door without checking with Him first we may miss something that could transform our day for the better. In the rush of life let’s remember we have a resident Counsellor, Helper and Comforter in the Holy Spirit.
God wants to be involved in every part of our lives no matter how unimportant we think those things are and He may well have something planned for us to do for Him which we won’t want to miss. It may be something simple like ringing up somebody to cheer them up.🙂
So just before you dash out to do all you have to do, why not draw a breath, take a few minutes to acknowledge to the Lord you want to put Him first and how you need His help. If nothing else, it will remind you how much He loves you and that He will be a very present help if you get into difficulties later on.
Have a blessed week.🙂
