In today’s first reading we see that God was not angry at what the people did, but at their ‘guilt’. The awareness of going against God’s commands and proceeding regardless. How often do we find ourselves in this situation? How many decisions do we make in a day? Do they stem from a heart that is committed to doing what the Lord wants of us? Or do those choices stem from a heart that is so embedded in the world that the right choice often seems a little blurry? “Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and everything else shall be added unto you.” How do we get there? How do we seek him and his kingdom? It starts with a decision; a desire to know what he wants from us, behavior, conduct, attitude, outlook, heart condition and everything else that goes with it. Both feet completely in. The answers are all in his Word that is alive and active. It may appear daunting at first, but when we start reading his Word attentively, every page we turn will give us a thirst for more.

Prayer: Abba Father, as we make the decision to seek you first, help us to find your heart for us in a real and personal way. Amen.
