First Place

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"- Matthew 6:33 (NIV).

We get so wrapped up in our "to-do" lists; including, family, jobs, exercise, church (don't raise your eyebrows at me), friends, home, holidays, civic duties, etc, etc, etc. Read the first eight words of today's Scripture. First things should be first, but so many times the act of seeking God gets pushed back to the back burner. Is it because He isn't sending you 10 texts each minute, emails one after the next, calling you on the phone over and over again, whining and pulling at your apron strings? Now read the last part of today's Scripture. There's the answer to your time management problems. Seek the Lord; give Him first place in your day, and He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4).
