Luke 17:8

"'But will he not rather say to him, 'Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink'?'"

We're eager to have our needs met. We want God to provide for our every need. God, I need help with this. God, I need strength for that. I find the majority of my prayers to be longing for assistance, or provision from my Father, with thanks or praise just tacked on the end. And yet, what I ask for. when it comes down to it, I don't necessarily need. For all I need is Jesus. All I should want in this life is him. As Pastor John Randall stated last night in his message, Matthew 6:33: "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." So if I seek God first, and give Him the praise, glory, and honor that He truly deserves, everything else that I could possibly need or want, He will provide. After all, the whole universe is His: It's not a difficult task for Him to give me anything at all, but He will. He longs to bless us, and all we need to do is seek Him first. And, ultimately, that is all He asks.  

I am going to make all of my prayers today, praise and glory to Him. Instead of asking for things of this life, I want to seek Him first and foremost. I aim to do this, not solely to praise Him for today, but for all eternity. To make sure giving Him the deserved praise becomes a conscious effort, until I, and myself fade away. All glory be to you Jesus, Amen.
