Over the span of my life I have heard this scripture countless times and always acknowledged that it holds truth for us as Gods children as I believe that the word of God is absolute truth however I never realised that the scripture has not yet come alive within me.
I recently went through a tough time and was looking for answers from the Holy Spirit when this scripture popped into my spirit. I decided to read the whole chapter and meditate on it. Suddenly for the first time it came alive in me and changed my whole outlook on what I have been going through (and also my life).
Where has my focus been all this time? I have been making Idols of worldly things by simply focusing on them more than on Jesus and allowing these Idols to lord over my life. I have been placing all of my worries above the TRUTH that was given to me in the word of God. My whole life was changed in an instant. I could let go of so many things and just hold on to God. Focus on Him and His word. Anxiety and fear had crept in as I was trying to control so many things that was out of my control and I praise God for setting me free.
I was recently looking at the sunflower and was astounded when I saw how perfectly it resembles this verse. The sunflower turns its head towards the sun (seeking his Kingdom) in order for it to produce pollen and seeds and this is what attract bees which creates honey (everything that is added to us).
By simply doing one act (focusing on His Kingdom) the pollen, seeds and honey is an automatic result of this act (the rest will be added).
I pray that we will live this verse daily and begin to realise when we create idols out of other things. May we place nothing above Him and His Kingdom.
