seeking Him first

Sometimes we are all too focused on the things we need (and want) that we forget and miss out on the important things in life. There are times when, out of desperation to acquire or achieve, we neglect the people who love us most - our families and friends. But, the greatest tragedy, is when we miss out God just because we are so focused on the desires of our hearts. Our needs and wants are important but it does not compare to God who is the reason why we are here and why we can have life after this one. In addition, we have to realize that we actually have all that we need when we seek God first. Moreover, God knows what we need and He has appointed Jesus to be head over everything for the church, which is his body..

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. - Matthew 6:33

And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fulness of him who fills everything in every way. - Ephesians 1:22,23
