What Do Your Thoughts Stayed Focused On?

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.  Matthew 6:33

Many times we travel through life wishing we had things that we don't, or wanting what others have.  However, instead of focusing on material possessions, we need to turn our focus to God.  The Word of God says, "Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things (Colossians 3:1-2, NIV)".  Where are thoughts spending their most time on - things of God or earthly things.

James further goes on to say in chapter 4, verses 2-3, "You want something but don't get it.  You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want.  You quarrel and fight.  You do not have, because you do not ask God.  When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures."  Wow!  James didn't sugar coat his message here, and neither should we.  If your life is not heading in the direction you think it should be, stand firm, and seek God with all of your heart.  There are so many things that we want, but the most important part of our life we need, we neglect - our relationship with God.

Let's rend our hearts, repent and surrender our all to God today!   You can never go wrong with God leading your every step!

Have a blessed day!
