Matthew 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.
1. Pray
These were the 3 steps I told them they would need to do in order to seek God first every day. It's the same with us too. We need to pray, read our Bibles and ask God to guide us and strengthen us to be obedient to Him in our pursuit of seeking Him.
Last
week I taught our kids at church this verse. I explained that if you
seek God first then He will take care of everything else. We named all
the problems that could happen to kids under 10 years of age. I
explained that God wanted to take care of all their concerns but He
wanted them to seek Him first each day. The simplest way that I could
think of to teach this life application of seeking God in their young
lives was to teach these 3 steps:
1. Pray
2. Read Your Bible
3. Obey (asking God to help them obey their parents, teachers, etc.)
These were the 3 steps I told them they would need to do in order to seek God first every day. It's the same with us too. We need to pray, read our Bibles and ask God to guide us and strengthen us to be obedient to Him in our pursuit of seeking Him.
