Seek Him First... Jesus is the Answer to EVERY Question





When life gets complicated its time to refocus on our Lord and Savior.  We can do all things through Christ.  But how much can we truly accomplish without Jesus?   Nothing.


A pastor friend of mine often uses the phrase:  "How's God messin' with ya?"    When I ask myself that the answer is:  '...bringing me to my knees...' 

God keeps bringing situations before me that I have little or no control over.  And as I look back on my life: that has been my life's theme.   How's HE messing with me?  ~ He is continually giving me an opportunity to just let HIM be God.  He is drawing me close.   My problem is I keep trying to do things under my own power, but I say I am doing these things in Jesus' Name.

Knowing God's Will:  I am learning that it's not as complicated as I have been making it.  

Jesus told us what we should do in Matthew 6:33...    But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

He told Peter and the Disciples:  Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.  Matt 4:19

Am I not a disciple?  Then what should I do?   Follow Him FIRST, then make disciples of all men..?. Matt 28:19

Yes, Follow Him FIRST.  But he said 'HE' will make us fishers of men.

What does that look like?  We are to tell all men the 'good news' of the Gospel.  And what is the GOOD NEWS...?   The Good News is our testimony about how Jesus is our Lord and Savior and living a changed life because He came into our hearts. 

But what if someone you LOVE rejects your testimony and refuses to acknowledge Christ, or refuses to acknowledge him the way you do?  What if its a family member or close friend...? 

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.  Matt 5:14  

Just Keep on Seeking HIM.  He will draw all men unto Him:  John 12:32

JESUS is the Answer to EVERY Question...!
