Seek ye first the kingdom.... Introduction

My pastors began the year with the theme "setting the right order".  My personal theme is "first things first, use what you've got." Now, because I'm not in the best financial place of my life the first thing I thought of was, "what do I have?".  I had my mind on what I could do to increase my income. I thought of the fact that after I sell all my extra stuff and cut as much as possible out of my expenses I still will need  "mo money".
This is when I looked into the compensation plan of a company I deal with every month. Yes! I thought, I love these products, they will be last on the list of cut backs. I need these products anyway and will have to buy them from somewhere. Yes, this could work. Then, what happened?
I'm reading my bible and it jumped off the page. "seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." Then I visited a friend for far more time than planned.  We began to talk about the kingdom. How it is that a well known preacher had tuned in to the kingdom message.  Next I went to church and. You're right. My pastors were messing with me. It was as if they were peeking over my shoulders, reading what I was reading, and listening to my thoughts.
I told myself that I wouldn't blog not one word of this revelation. I would just keep it in my journal. OK, so I lied. not to you but to my self. I've learned that what I study is not just for me.  I think I will have to do this in parts. The little voice in my head has assured me that no one will read it anyway. So blog on.
Thanks, for sharing, I think I will. I'm speaking to the little voice. Please  excuse the private conversation.
We will need to make sure we are on the same page, so, the next blog will be vocabulary.
