But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness...

"But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well" (Matthew 6:33).

It is really hard to be focused and concentrate of the right things so that we are heading in this direction. But if it was easy then every body would do it. As we know not all of us are able to do this. There are a lot of things that we know we should do and is good for us but somehow we never do it or never do it often enough.

God expects us not to compromise. He has given us so much blessings and if you take a wider view of life, these are only little things that God expects from us in return. How can we not put God first ?

Lets review ourselves and work towards a better relationship with God.

Matthew 28:5-7 The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus..."

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."


Matthew 28:5-7 (NIV)

As another Easter goes by what did we discover of ourselves and our relationship with God.
Did we go to the cave, discover it was empty and fear for our future ?
Or did we discover / re-discover our faith in God and the gift of the resurrection ?
Only you will be able to answer this as each of our journeys are our own.
We can draw  parrallels to the experiences oh so long ago, but each person will need to discover in their own way...
the gift from God.

Earthquake in Indonesia

Todays news of the earthquake in Indonesia reminds us how fragile our earth is and how our life is not our own. Everything is in Gods plan. An earthquake is neither good or evil . It is just an event to shake us from our complacentcy and to remind us that we do not control everything in our lives.

In today's Daily Wisdom reading which I get in the mail, it has an appropriate message in Not To Give Up. No matter what the circumstances are, the trials and tribulations, there is a reason for this. God knows our limits and in his greater plan has plotted our path for us. So let us renew our faith and work daily to renew our relationship with God and have faith in his plans for us.
