The passage from Matthew that I posted this morning was one that came to mind during my morning quiet time. I've thought a lot lately about selfishness. As a single woman, it is quite easy to let my life revolve around myself. I don't have a husband or children to consider when planning my schedule or making out a budget. If I want to spend the night surfing TV channels or eat a bowl of popcorn for dinner, I can (and occasionally do).
But not having familial responsibilities does not give me a free ride to self-centeredness. Regardless of marital status, my thoughts and actions should be first and foremost kingdom driven. It's so easy to get bogged down in the minutiae of every day life and to let worry, doubt and fear creep in. It's much harder, in my opinion, to trust God and put Him first in my life. I am more successful in doing that in some areas than in others.
After pondering all this this morning, I couldn't help but laugh when I turned on the radio on my way to work today and Dr. Charles Stanley was quoting Matthew 6:33! I definitely think God was talking to me...

I think He is talking to me too! I thought about this verse during life group Sunday night. It has been on my mind since then and I read it here today.
When a verse keeps popping up, there is a reason for it. Thanks for sharing!
