Day 15: July 22, 2012

What are you running after? Look around and notice what most people seem to be running toward. You will soon discover that most are desperately seeking things such as money, possessions, and the basic necessities of life. As My child, you should be different. I promise to take care of you and provide for you the things you need, but I have a requirement of you. Seek Me and My righteousness first and foremost. Run after Me. As you make Me your focus and desire, I promise to take care of the basic necessities of life for which many spend their lives striving. The difference between others and you is that they are seeking the temporal things of life and you are seeking Me and My eternal things. Those who seek the temporal things temporarily get what they can provide for themselves, but you get all that I can provide for all eternity.
Matthew 6:28-33
And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, “What shall we eat?” or “What shall we drink?” or “What shall we wear?” For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

2 Corinthians 4:18
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Dear God,
I confess that sometimes I run after the same things the world runs after rather than running after You. Please forgive me for this sin. I commit to You today to run after You and Your righteousness. Please use me as an instrument of revival in the life of my family and our Grace family.
In Jesus name,
