“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33
We don't let little kids do the following ... choose what they will eat or they would eat candy and drink soda for every meal. We don't let them drive automobiles, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, join the army, or vote. We don't let them get married (or shouldn't let them). We don't let them stay out late at night without telling us where they are (or shouldn't let them). We discourage them from getting a tattoo of their 2nd grade crushes name on their lower back. We basically help kids realize that what the WANT is not what the NEED. Or at least, what they want is not always what is best.
Lord, help me to not act like a child and help me to seek the things that you want for me ... so my teeth don't fall out or something worse.
