Have you chosen the right foundation for your life???

Who are or what is your life built on??? 

Is it built on money, finances, your job, things??

Is it built on your family, your spouse, your kids, your parents???

Is it built on your position in life, your status, or what others think of you???

If your life is built on anything or anyone, but Jesus, then you will one day regret it. 

If you trust in the Lord and make HIM the foundation, the cornerstone of your life, and you build upon THE SOLID ROCK, then HE will cause your life to flourish!!! 

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

Matthew 6:33 (NCV) Seek first God's kingdom and what God wants. Then all your other needs will be met as well.

 

God doesn’t say that ALL these things should be unimportant to us.  He says that we are to seek Him first!!!  We are to seek HIS KINGDOM FIRST!!!  And then ALL these things shall be added unto us!!! 

 

 

What things??

 

 

Matthew 6:25-34 (CEV)

²⁵I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing?

²⁶Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?

²⁷Can worry make you live longer?

²⁸Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don't work hard to make their clothes.

²⁹But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn't as well clothed as one of them.

³⁰God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow. He will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little faith?

³¹Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?"

³²Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these.

³³But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well.

³⁴Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have enough to worry about today.

Luke also records Jesus telling HIS disciples these same things. 

Luke 12:22-31 (NCV)

²² Jesus said to his followers, "So I tell you, don't worry about the food you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body.

²³ Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes.

²⁴ Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest, they don't have storerooms or barns, but God feeds them. And you are worth much more than birds.

²⁵ You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.

²⁶ If you cannot do even the little things, then why worry about the big things?

²⁷ Consider how the lilies grow; they don't work or make clothes for themselves. But I tell you that even Solomon with his riches was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.

²⁸ God clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today but tomorrow is thrown into the fire. So how much more will God clothe you? Don't have so little faith!

²⁹ Don't always think about what you will eat or what you will drink, and don't keep worrying.

³⁰ All the people in the world are trying to get these things, and your Father knows you need them.

³¹ But seek God's kingdom, and all your other needs will be met as well.
