If you hyper focus on your things, house, career, car, horses, friends, self, or charmed life, then you are living in a bubble that only acknowledges our human ability to survive. Living this shallow way leads us to only acknowledge God’s existence in our lives. Nothing more.
To survive successfully in this world of anger, hate, harsh judgement, and broken families we must strive to do more than simply acknowledge our Creator and Heavenly Father. We must embrace Divine closeness and focus, not on worldly things or ways, but on building that relationship before any other. How much time do you actually spend with your Heavenly Father? Everyday?
But seek first the kingdom of God and his right ways, and all these things will be added to you. Matthew 6:33
