Blessing upon blessing!
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you” (Matthew 6:33).
Roger Babson, a famous statistician was having lunch with the President of Argentina.
“Mr. Babson,” the President said, “I have been wondering why it is that South America, with all its natural advantages, mines of iron, copper, coal and silver, rivers and great waterfalls is so far behind North America?”
Babson replied, “Well, Mr. President, what do you think is the reason?”
He answered:
“South America was founded by the Spanish who came in search of gold.
North America was founded by the Pilgrims who went there in search of God.”
If we live a life of seeking gold…the blessings of God but not God Himself…we end up losing both.
The Pilgrims came in search of God.
It is because of this that America has reaped blessing upon blessing!
We need to examine ourselves and be careful that-
– we are seeking God in all things,
– putting Him first and giving thanks to Him always.
Seek first the kingdom of God.
And He will surely provide from His riches in glory.
