Seek God first.


'Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures through the generations.' Psalm 145:13
We often sit and spend time at the start of the day, writing the list of things that need to be done, the things we must do, the people we must touch base with, the ministry we must attend to and as the day wears on we work though this list, ticking of the tasks one by one often satisfied by evening that we have at least achieved some of them, or frustrated because the list still holds many tasks and the day instead shot off into another direction.
I stop and think. Whose day is it? Whose tasks are they? Mine or God's?
Having been given the gift of a new day it is wise to put on the very top of our list of must do items............'seek God's kingdom.' At the end of the day, what remains of the list doesn't really matter. The day has been in God's hands.
Grace and peace from the Lord Jesus Christ.
