It all comes back to this. Again and again and again. Everything else fails into place when God comes first - His plan, His will, His power, His comfort, His provision, His fulfillment, His healing, etc etc. When will I learn to run to Him for all those things first?
lyrics
SEEK YOU FIRST
A thousand things I think I need, and a million I desire
Like a place to prop my feet beside a cosy fire.
I want a love that lasts forever and a shoulder I can cry on
And a month of sunny weather and friends I can rely on
Well, I long to fill my hunger and to satisfy my thirst,
But Lord, I must seek You first.
I’d like to trade all of my worry for a little peace of mind
And to give up all this hurry and just take my time
To live a life with no regretting and, when I go to sleep at night,
Rest assured all my tomorrows will be looking bright.
I’d love to own a mansion and have bank accounts that burst
But Lord, I must seek You first.
Lord, You made me and You know me
You feed me and You clothes me
Better than the flowers and the birds
And all I have to do…. is seek You.
I have given, I have taken.
I’ve been hanging by a thread.
But I’ve never been forsaken or out begging bread.
If I focus on Your kingdom and I seek Your righteousness,
You have taught me not to worry about al the rest.
So I’ll trust You with my future
For You’ve given me Your word
And Lord, I will see You first.
