Carefully Careless

Below is a quiet time I had today. Nice to share. =)

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

This verse might be very familiar and common to us, but have we thought deeper in it? Or sometimes when we hear this verse, we'll feel troubled because it's the exact opposite of how most of us live. 

People around us in school or our workplace might have things backward. What they wear, how they perform in school or work or how much they earn are the dominant concerns of their lives. But sad to say, these are the wrong measuring scales. We have to be carefully careless about these things as they have no real value or meaning if you are not closely related to God.  The earthly things are normally very attractive, once we are careless, we will lose track. 

Jesus told us to concentrate on our relationship with Him first. Get that in order and then work on the other things. 

God is number one. That's it.
Get that straight and the rest will come easy. 

PS: Glowers!!!!! We shall all try to pick up the habit of posting our daily thoughts here again to motivate each other in our spiritual growth. =D
