Opportunity! Part One

If you check this blog for new posts I am sorry that it has been a while, forgive me, II will try to do better at getting these up.

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.(ASV)
Interesting why Jesus would say this Seek first His kingdom. If we look at the context of the whole passage He is telling us that the animals and the plants don't worry about the earthly things such as food and water God has already provided those things, He has even given them clothing to where. What I believe that Jesus is trying to express to us, is we spend to much time worring about the newest and greatest thing, whether that be a gadget or clothing line, you see even later on we learn that earthly things will not last. Have you ever seen a hearse being followed by a U-haul, didn't think so, or have you ever seen some one buried with their new iPhone, well not yet anyways. We are called as Christians to be like Christ, that's right just like Him, thats what being a Christian is a little Christ. When we are seeking after the Lord the earthly things don't matter much any more and we will not be worrying about the latest and greatest thing on the planet, not that having that stuff is bad but it is not to be our primary focus. God gives us opportunities here on earth to fulfill our call as christians, next time we will look at that call and opportunity.

Psalm 139:14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.

As we think on the fact that God created us. I can't help thinking that I got to take part in helping to create our daughter, God is truly the designer of her whole being all the way dow to the amount of hair on her head as well as her personality. Stop and think for a second that a baby has a lot of needs all the way down to the dirty diapers (pun intended). Lets look at these needs. They need to be fed, clothed and most importantly loved. In the same way our heavenly father provides the same for us He gives us the things that we need and even some of the things that we want, (Matt 6:25-32) Here's the deal Our Father in Heaven will provide all of our needs and no matter how hard it may seem we will always be provided for. Next time we will be looking at Matthew 6:33 and how seeking first the Kingdom of God is so important and why it will keep us from freting over worldly worries
