Matthew
6:33 But seek
first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as
well.
When people are used to
getting their own way, they tend to do what pleases them and then expect
everyone else to be happy with what they have done. This often results in them
making decisions in the same way resulting in the repetition of the result.
When the result is pleasing to them, they will just use the same principle,
when the result is not pleasing they will always rationalise and place the
blame elsewhere.
It is strange how many
people who have almost no relationship with Jesus will still want prayer in
regards to a decision, make the decision anyway, and then say when it has a bad
result that the cannot understand what went wrong because they ‘prayed’.
When we chase dreams and look for our prosperity in and through the world, we
cannot expect Jesus to bless what will be eventually harmful to us and our
families. So we pray before we decide, we pray before we need an answer, we
first seek a relationship with Jesus. Jesus is not Someone
to take for granted and to bless us without first seeking His will for us.
Be encouraged today to be
in a prayer relationship with Jesus.
David
Point to ponder: Seek Jesus first.
