first choice delayed

 Saturday, December 27, 2025 (5:28 a.m.)

Good morning God,

I’m feeling several degrees of sadness this morning. Is it related to the rainy day off I took yesterday? Or connected to post-holiday blues? Do I even need to know the reason?

Yeah. With that asked, what would YOU have me focus my attention on at this very moment?

Seeking Your Kingdom first (Matthew 6:33). You above all else.

I’m asking (Matthew 7:7a) You to show me how to make You my first thing. Accept this present moment. Find the joy being offered to me. And the strength that Your Word promises.

Thank You Father. I don’t have to look any deeper or further than You. You ARE my first choice! (After all the other people, places and things I consider trying before remembering it is from YOU I get my strength and hope).

(6:20 a.m.)

Thank You for the work You are doing to get my heart, soul, mind and strength back on You where it so rightly belongs. Father, I love, need, trust and want You as Lord and love of my life.

Do all You must that I will readily remember to seek Your Kingdom first. Above all else. Use me as You know is best. Thank You. Praise You. Amen.
