Seek ye First the Kingdom of God

Have you ever thought about the animals in the forest when there is a forest fire and how they run from danger. When there is a forest fire or danger?  God has given them a very sensitive sense to detect danger. Birds fly South in the winter, why to survive.
 God has given them all these survival abilities how much more do you think he has given you?

When I think about that innate ability animals have, I am in awe when I think about how wonderfully God orchestrates things. If he gave the animals that how much more did he give us? How much more does he want us to survive and thrive. God is a just God, but such a loving Father as well.
He says:

 25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 27 Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

28 “And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing,29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

Matt6:25-30

How I am reminded of such little faith that I have.If he provides for the animals and the plant life, how he surely will provide for us.  I think about a song I like by Point of Grace. "What I already know" She says she knows all Goodness, but sometimes she just needs a little more faith to help her with what she already knows. I too can relate to that, as can we all I am sure. 

His Advice:

31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

So when we Seek first the Kingdom of God, all of this is taken care of. Wow. God is good, he wants us to prosper, to live peacefully and in faith. But we must put him first and that means being in communion with him, studying his word and in constant prayer. He will supply the rest.
