Good Morning Friends!
I hope you are doing well on this Tuesday morning. I want to ask you a question. How many times have we tried to do God's job when we haven't even done what He has asked us to do? How many times have we thought we have it all figured it out only to find out that we end up messing it up? When we read God's word and I mean really read it with a fine tooth comb, we learn in scripture that God has a part and we have a part. If you would like to find out more about what your part is then keep reading, but before we go into all the details, I hope you have your cup of coffee or tea with you. Let's begin on journey on finding out what we are supposed to do according to scripture!
In Matthew 6:33 it says, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you." Now if you look closely, our part is to seek the kingdom of God first and His righteousness. God is saying to us the first thing we are to do is to read His word and pray to Him first thing in the morning. Once we do our part then God will add these things to us and these things are our needs. Another example is Matthew 6:15, "In prayer there is a connection between what God does and what you do. You can't get forgiveness from God, for instance, without forgiving others. If you refuse to do your part, you cut yourself off from God's part." So as you can see if we won't forgive someone who has offended us then God will not forgive us of our sins.
My friends, there are so many scriptures in God's word that tell us what we are to do if we will just take time to read His word. We have to pay attention to those key words in scripture and ask God to help us apply what we have learned to our lives. God will surely do His part if we do our part and He only wants us to do our part not try to take over His part. It's like meeting God halfway, we do our part and then He will take care of the rest. He has commanded us to be obedient to His word and do what He says to do, He will reward us for our obedience.
So friends, I want to encourage you today to take time reading God's word and ask Him to help you learn from Him. Remember to always keep Him first place in your life. He never fails and you can trust Him because He knows more about you and your life than you. He is constantly watching over us and taking care of us in ways that we do not know. I pray that this blog post has encouraged you and helped you today! May God bless you and keep you! Until next time!
By the way I will be writing another blog post about God's righteousness soon!
