A Christ Follower: The Journey

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33 Life is full of choices, and these choices can affect each one - and our loved ones - spiritually, emotionally, relationally, financially and physically. Jesus cares about our choices, and he cares about the end result -- or the "harvest" -- we reap as a result of those choices. As we make our life plan, the best choice to make is the one that involves the choice of either putting the Kingdom of God first or not. According to the ancient wisdom of our life verse, today, there is ONLY one choice to make. Seek, FIRST, the Kingdom of God! Why?  The answer is simple: Everything else will fall into place; therefore, putting God first, each day, is the best decision you or I could ever make. SoJourner
