To What have you given Power…?

“Do not be anxious…but seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you…”
A guiding principle….Whatever we seek first organizes every other aspect of our life. We all seek something first…whatever gets our first thought, our greatest attention, our most intense focus; this is what will organize our life.
Seek first relief from pain or fear; pain or fear are given power to organize your day. Seek first attention from people; others now have the power to organize your life.
Seek first His Kingdom…this is not about you being good. This is about slowing down for a moment and asking Him what He is thinking, then being still and quiet while you wait for Him to answer.
Something will be in charge of your day. Choose on purpose. Think Differently.

thanks Pastor
Pastor Bob,
These words are such a great way to start my day, with a RIGHT perspective on CHOICE and how that one word – one verb – will either set my foot straight for the day or throw me off course.
God has given you such practical wisdom to share with us. Thank you for taking hold of that gift and dispensing that wisdom “HERE”, where we don’t have to wait to gather at Southlake to get it.
Yes, Yes, Yes. Thank you for this word.
Lately my prayers for me are simplifying into various ways of asking Him to elevate my awareness of Him. When He’s the focus, well – He’s the focus. Enough said. Thanks for laying it down so clearly.
You are totally welcome, I am enjoying the place to write whats on my mind and heart…just glad other people enjoy it too!
This is just what I needed to hear this morning. Thank you!
