Get This Right & Everything Else Falls Into Place.

Have you had days that at the end you thought "what exactly have I achieved today?"

Days that seemed like a waste. And weeks that seemed like that too? Years also?

As Christians, if we don’t live a Christ-focused life, one day we will look back on our lives and it will have been a waste and our hearts will be filled with such deep regret.

It doesn’t matter what we achieve, the money we make, the fame and influence we gather, it doesn’t matter how many followers we have on social media, if it all wasn’t done to glorify Jesus, it’s all a waste.

Hear what Paul said:

But whatever former things were gains to me [as I thought then], these things [once regarded as advancements in merit] I have come to consider as loss [absolutely worthless] for the sake of Christ [and the purpose which He has given my life]. But more than that, I count everything as loss compared to the priceless privilege and supreme advantage of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord [and of growing more deeply and thoroughly acquainted with Him—a joy unequaled]. For His sake I have lost everything, and I consider it all garbage, so that I may gain Christ, Philippians 3:7‭-‬8 AMP.

Live every hour of every day to the glory of your Father, to the pleasure of your King, and sold out to knowing Him more, that you may please Him more.

In living for Him you’ll find abundant Life ; you’ll overflow with peace, joy, love and fulfilment. In His presence is fullness of joy and at His right hand are eternal pleasures forever more. (Psalm 16:11)

In all your seeking, seek Him first, Love him first, desire Him above all else, let Him be your number ONE pursuit and priority (Matthew 6:31-33)

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33 NKJV.

Seek God first, always.
