It is very common for us to seek God in times of trouble. God wants us to look to him alone. This is why God's blessings are so hard on us. When He blesses us, we shift our eyes elsewhere. It is as when Jesus healed ten lepers and nine went into town and rejoiced, while one remained with Jesus and worshipped Him. Jesus said, did I not heal ten lelpers? Our flesh celebrates blessing apart from the One who blesses them. God does not ask us to look at Him, but He commands it as a condition of salvation.
Daily Prayer: Father, put the love of Jesus in our hearts so that we look to You not because of what you do, but because who You are. Teach us to treasure the Eternal King, not the temporal life. Place in our minds to seek ye first the Kingdom of God, with or without the blessings you pour out freely every day. In Your Holy Name I pray Amen.
