Check'n In

Matthew 6:33 "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness"

What comes to mind when you hear this term? Checking in when you were ten was mandatory or you faced the one who had "that look." Those words, when you were a senior in high school and they handed you their keys, took on a deeper responsibility. The process of checking in is preparatory for the man who takes one giant step for mankind. "Will you marry me?" Those four words are wrapped in the package of "check in." If man does not regularly check in with the one who responded "I do", well, man, you know the consequences will be cold, lonely, and costly.

The soul has a "Check In" responsibility as well. The Maker of your soul requires His creature to "seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness" (Matthew 6:33). Checking in with Jesus is not optional. Checking in with Jesus results in righteous living. Checking out Jesus is the first step towards checking into His kingdom.

Pray with me,
O' LORD my God, YOU ordained the days of my life. YOU entrusted YOUR treasure into my safe keeping. YOUR Word is more precious than gold, more valuable than diamonds, and YOU, O' God, have entrusted "IT" with me. My Jesus, My Savior, YOU know "i am" is lowly, a sinner whom YOU have rescued out of the dominion of darkness. YOU, my Jesus died for me and YOU conquered the grave for me. "i" owe my all to YOU. Gracious Father, YOU have recorded my name in YOUR Book of life and now "i am" forever in awe of YOU, willing to do and serve YOU in caring and loving others as YOU love and care for me. In YOUR Holy Name. Amen.

Love,

Chappy
