“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” Matt 6:33 AMP

Greetings Everyone; we are more than have way done with 2022! How have you been? I am blessed and grateful. So far, this year has been a true blessing to me. I am learning more about myself. I have been praying and asking God to guide me and show me how to be more of a faithful servant to Him. This is what I have learned; I need to trust God! So Diana, what do you mean by that? The last couple of months have been hard for me spiritually. I know and understand that God has a purpose for my life. However, I wanted reassurance that I was doing what God wanted. I started asking specific individuals for their input on my life, and do you know what I heard the most? People told me what they would do instead of encouraging me to seek God. So, I prayed to God and asked Him to guide me into His will and to remove barriers and strongholds that are stopping me. I also asked Him to reveal to me what the strongholds were.

As always, God delivers. He revealed to me Matthew 6:33 AMP. God told me and showed me that He needs to be first in my life. I honestly thought He was! I pray, study the Bible and share His Word. My actions demonstrated that I had him first, but my attitude was a hot mess! I had to ask God for forgiveness and repent. Sometimes taking an inventory of your spiritual health can be a blessing. You can identify where you are lacking with God’s help and interventions. Colossians 3:16 AMP talks about allowing Christ’s Word to dwell spiritually and in every area of your life. Every area! The Word of God teaches, encourages, and trains. I thank God for allowing me to receive His grace and mercy daily. I know God is still working on me; I am not there yet. I am still a work in progress. I know now, without a doubt, He will get me to where I need to be. The Lord will make it happen!
