In general, humans as a species have a fair amount of self-awareness. And if we’re honest, we all know our weak points. Those places where character is lacking a bit.One of our biggest weaknesses is that we just want stuff. Bigger house, more expensive car—that kind of thing. In those moments, we’re missing out on a big prize. Our focus is wrong.Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”The Bible—the Word of God itself—shows exactly what our priorities should be. God knows us far better than we could ever know ourselves, and He tells us that we have it exactly backwards. We look for the stuff, and then tack on the God stuff later. In fact, turn that around and that’s how we should be doing life. Look for God first, and then later He’ll give us the desires of our heart. Because our hearts will then be aligned with His perfect will for our lives.Try this approach, and see if it works for you. What we’ll also find as a bonus is peace that the world can’t give us…that stuff can’t give us. When you seek first a relationship with your Creator, you find that material possessions are no substitute for knowing Him.Let’s pray.Lord, thank you for our relationship with you. Thank you for loving us through our sin. In Jesus’ name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!
