In the night I search for you; in the morning I earnestly seek you...
(Isaiah 26:9, NLT)
Isaiah 26:9 KJV
With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earlyโฆ

JESUS said in Matthew 6, โSeek first the kingdom of GOD.โ That word โseekโ is a strong word. One definition is โto require as a vital necessity.โ You have to see spending time with GOD as being vital to living a victorious life. When things get busy, the children need you, itโs hectic at the office, or youโve got a thousand things to do, youโve got to put your foot down and say, โNo, this is not an option. If Iโm going to be strong, if Iโm going to be my best today, if Iโm going to have GOD's favor, Iโve got to rearrange my priorities so I can spend time with GOD.โ
You may have to get up earlier - before the children need you, before checking your emails, before the phone starts ringing. Take time to invest in your spiritual well-being. We feed our physical body at least three meals a day, but often we feed our spirit just once a week at church. We wonder why we feel burned out, unenthusiastic, and lack favor, wisdom and creativity. Itโs because weโre not taking time to get filled back up. Just like we feed our physical man, we need to feed our spiritual man. When you invest in your spiritual well-being, it will pay huge dividends in your life.

Father, today I choose to put You first. I acknowledge that without You, I can do nothing. I invite You to have Your way in my life as I seek You first in all that I do in JESUSโ name. Amen.
