Before You Start Your Day: A Leadership Devotional by Vance K. JacksonSample

Seek Me. 

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 KJV

Choose to seek Christ. Start your day with the intention to seek His Way of doing things. Seek His Way of doing things in every area of your life. Choose to settle and posture your heart to seek Christ.

Deuteronomy 30:15 KJV declares, “See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;” God has ‘gifted’ you with the ability to choose. 

God has ‘gifted’ you with the opportunity to steward your day, so choose to submit your agenda over to Him. Surrender your processes and thoughts over to Him. Surrender your ways to Him.

Choose to seek Christ in every aspect of your life. Let His Way become your life’s blueprint. Choose to serve Him in every aspect of your life. Choose to submit and surrender every area of your heart over to Christ. 

Matthew 6:33 NLT declares, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

Above all else, seek Christ first. Let His Way become your priority. Let His Way shape the framework of your character. Let His Way mature the foundation of your integrity. 

In all things, seek Christ first. Seek Him first and live righteously. Seek God in both spiritual and natural things.

Seek Him first in matters of the heart. Seek Him in handling your business affairs. Seek Him in handling family matters. Seek Him in your financial affairs. Seek Him in all things and He will give you everything that you need.

If you have an Earthly need, know that your Heavenly Father is a good Father and will give you what you need. In fact, He will give you more than what you need.
