I can remember a time, not so long ago, when I was trying to do everything I could at work to get ahead, I was working long hours, over time, and it never seemed like it was enough. I took job, without the proper consideration given to my family, dealing with shift changes, and not knowing long term what my hours were going to be, and most of all, missing out on things with the kids and my wife, chasing after the "all mighty dollar." Boy did I have it all wrong...although my intentions were good, cause it is true the bible says money is the answer to all things, it is the way in which we go after it were we can find fault. (Ecclesiastes 10:19) See what happens over time as your relationship develops more with the father, and you become comfortable with him being your Daddy, you learn that you would rather have his righteousness by seeking his kingdom above all else. (Matthew 6:33) For it is in seeking his kingdom, that we don't fall short, it is seeking his kingdom that we don't miss the mark, for it is seeking his kingdom that we develop the Courage to stand up for your faith even in times when you don't feel like it, or when things on the outside are not matching up with the word you have on the inside of your heart, it is in seeking his kingdom we find the Conviction to know what is right and what is wrong for our lives, because just like you been praying and fasting and believing in God for such things the devil hears those prayers as well, and will do his best to railroad you off the course by sending exactly what you think you need, instead of you waiting for what God has for you, was it not Jesus that the devil came back at an opportune time to temp him and try to steer him of course. You see in seeking the kingdom of God, you develop the Commitment you need to walk out your salvation, and there you will find that all those things, that you cared for he has already cared for and therefore all those things will be added unto you!
