Day 22 – Seek first

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

“Where are you? Where are you?” I would say to my eldest while she was holding her chubby little hands over her eyes. With giggles she would open her hands I would say “There she is!”

This game of peek-a-boo was her absolute favourite game and we would spend hours playing it. Sometimes I think God is asking us too “Where are you? Where are you?” and when we seek Him He exclaims with joy: “There you are!”

My prayer is that our children will seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness above all things! In their thoughts, speech, prayers, and actions. That they will Him in such a way that He would never have to search for them. That God would add abundantly to their lives as they abide in His presence.

Prayer: Father, I ask that You would help us to teach our children to seek You. Your kingdom and Your righteousness. Because of Jesus, we are not lost. We are found and fondly loved by You. Amen.
