Seek First God’s Kingdom

 When we came to admit that our lives were unmanageable, we knew that many decisions needed to be made if we were to choose for the road to recovery. In our dysfunctional lifestyle, our relationship with family members, our overall health, and our living conditions all declined.  Somehow, we came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity and we became willing to give our will and life over to the care of God. At this point we need to ask ourselves, “Will I truly desire conscious contact with God and seek to know and obey His principles as I navigate my new life with Him in recovery?”

 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need. (Matthew 6:33 ERV) 

 And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus. (2 Corinthians 4:18 MSG)

Belief in Jesus, who paid the debt for our wrongdoing and made us right with God, will cause us to have faith that as God’s precious children He is committed to provide for all our needs. If we are patient and not seeking our own way, we will have no worries about future challenges because God will be with us in all our tomorrows.

 Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes. (Matthew 6:34 MSG)

Prayer: Heavenly Father, When life’s challenges come my way, please help me to seek first Your Kingdom ways, and be obedient to Your principles in all my affairs. Amen
