first things first

Seek first the kingdom of God...

I haven't been able to get this phrase out of my head for weeks!

So simple.

~ and yet ~

So weighty.

First!

Not me or my interests,

not my house,

not my husband,

not my children,

not my friends.

Him.

I need to seek Him.

.first.

Such a deceptively simple phrase.

He beckons me with His words.

Esther honey, I'm here. Come spend some time with me...

And, like a child, who is learning to walk, I stop, turn and look at His smiling face...

...and toddle toward Him.
