Ecclesiastes 3:1-4
To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under heaven:
A time to weep, a time to laugh,
a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

Jesus gave us aiming instructions, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God . ” And He didn’t equivocate. He didn’t say, flip a coin and if it’s “heads” you follow Me; “tails” and you can drift or decide in any direction you want. The magic word behind His instruction was, is and always shall be FIRST!!!
That doesn’t mean you can’t be ambitious toward a career and a good marriage. It does mean that if you place God second, third or even further down your list, you are playing poor mathematical games with your immortal soul.
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God. ” There’s eternity in that answer. There’s mortality in all the other answers.
In the fourth chapter of James, verse 8 it says, “Draw nigh to God and he will draw nigh to you.” It can’t get much clearer than that.
The words to a beautiful old hymn puts it this way:
"I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew
he moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;
it was not I that found, O Savior true;
no, I was found of thee."
Remember the old nursery rhyme -
PUSSY CAT , PUSSY CAT ,
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
I’VE BEEN TO LONDON TO VISIT THE QUEEN.
PUSSY CAT , PUSSY CAT ,
WHAT DID YOU THERE?
I FRIGHTENED A LITTLE MOUSE UNDER THE CHAIR.
Christians do that sometimes, it's the human weakness in us...settle for petty involvements, trivial pursuits: chasing mouse-like projects that have about them the importance of nothingness; wasting life by pursuing no purpose worthy of pursuit.
The royalty of the King of Kings awaits us, and we settle for minimum daily requirements and minimal dreams.
And while we will always have the minimal accomplishment of two steps forward and one step backwards ...we can accomplish the tiny miracles that are the backbone results of continuing persistent prayer.
We can join the ranks of the spiritually best and brightest.
We can learn from our mistakes and turn a grade of "F" into a forgiven lesson and improve it to an "A."
"I am come that you might have life" said Christ...and he meant it.
Know this and do not forget it…you are never going to make a difference in this world until the world sees a difference in you.
