What is first


What one thing would you ask of God if you knew absolutely that it would not be refused?  Would it be to save your marriage? To grant you a job? for healing for yourself or a family or friend? Perhaps you would want to be rich, to the gift of prophesy or healing etc... One of my favorite stories in the bible is King Solomon and his desire to for fill the perfect will of God. "Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours" (I Kings 3:9)?
Solomon was asking for wisdom to be a good king. The Bible says; "The speech pleased the Lord was because Solomon was seeking to find the heart of God ?  Have you ever thought about what our heavenly Father wants from you?  Are you like the rich man who was focused on building up treasure here on earth and never had time  for God's will in his life, when he stands before the Lord and our Father as him to give an account of what he did for God, shall the rich man speak of his building and wealth?  If you were standing before the Lord what would you say, that you have done for him?  Would he tell you depart from me for I knew you not.  Let us seek his heart, let us, "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you" (Matthew 6:33).
