Seek Ye First

My new challenge.  Seeking God First.

Wow...

This might be tough.

As I said in our new small group tonight...I tend to seek God last when the tough gets going around here.

Don't get me wrong...I find him.  (Him being God)  It just so happens that I seek him after I have exhausted all resources.  Every time I do this...I find myself thinking...why didn't I just fall on my faith first?  Why am I always looking for (fill in the blank) in the wrong places?

Examples of blank:

Love
Acceptance
Forgiveness
Approval
Guidance
Counseling
Understanding
Relief
Healing
Rest

Why is it that I attempt to find peace in earthly things when I could have found it in my faith?  Well...for many reasons I believe.

I don't want to get into this too deep.  I just wanted to share with you that one, I realize I tend to seek "ye, a.k.a. God last, and two I have challenged myself to fix this.

I am also challenging myself this week to be more grateful and less jealous of the things we do not have.  For those "things" won't bring me what I'm looking for.  I know this.  Now I'm acting on it.

What will you challenge yourself with this week?  Regardless of the challenge, seek Him.  That's my best advice.  ;)

Have a great week!
