Scripture for the Day (June 22, 2015)
For after all these things do the Gentiles seek: for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But see ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. (Matthew 6:32-33)
I was recently sent a YouTube music video from Brig that was a song recorded by Lauren Daigle. The song is entitled “First” and this song, and the lyrics, will be our devotional today. As you read these lyrics and listen to this song I want you to ask yourself, “Is God first in my life?”
“First” by Lauren Daigle
Before I bring my need, I will bring my heart, Before I lift my cares, I will lift my arms
I wanna know You, I wanna find You, In every season, In every moment
Before I bring my need, I will bring my heart, And seek You First
I wanna seek You, I wanna seek You First, I wanna keep You, I wanna keep You First
More than anything I want, I want You First, Before I speak a word, Let me hear Your voice
And in the midst of pain, Let me feel Your joy, Ooh, I wanna know You, I wanna find You
In every season, In every moment, Before I speak a word, I will bring my heart
And seek You First, I wanna seek You, I wanna seek You First
I wanna keep You, I wanna keep You First, More than anything I want, I want You First
You are my treasure and my reward, Let nothing ever come before, You are my treasure and my reward
Let nothing ever come before, I seek You First, First, I wanna seek You, I wanna seek You First
I wanna keep You, I wanna keep You First, More than anything I want, I want You First,

The Lord looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. (Psalm 14:2)
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing. (Psalm 34:10)
And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts. (Psalm 119:45)
And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Psalm 1:3)
