Seek Him First

The Lord is able to sustain us, 

and when we put Him first 

He is able to work supernaturally to lighten our burdens. 

We mustn’t allow our sin to cause us to close our minds to Him, 

because He doesn’t ever veil Himself from us. 

His arms are always open, 

and He will provide for us out of His mercy and grace. 

We may let Him down by refusing a call to prayer, 

but He will not let us down when we call out to Him for help.

The world’s view tells us that hard work earns rest, 

but in the Lord’s perspective the opposite is true; 

if we rest in Him ahead of the work of the day, 

we will find our burdens are lifted

 in ways we could not have achieved for ourselves.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,

the holy habitation of the Most High.

 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;

God will help her when morning dawns.

Psalm 46:4-5
