Born in a Manger

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. she wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
LUKE 2:6-7

when i read this scripture at a church service i went to on Christmas Eve i couldnt help but think of how humble God was. he could've came with a horse and chariot and a purple robe or even born in an extravagant hospital room with the best of the best because he is the King of Kings.but no he was born in a dirty, cold, smelly manger where animals stay in. noone would've imagined the creator of the universe, God of all things, THE GREAT I AM to come in such a quiet humble way.
If Jesus can humble himself in such a way...why can't we? being prideful is displeasing to God. by being prideful you are saying that you're better than God that you know more than him. doesn't that sound crazy? pride is a character trait that is not of God so we shouldn't be carrying that around. the very first day Jesus came into this earth he taught us a lesson. to be humble and stay humble. God loves humility so every morning you wake up make sure to put on that "garment of humility".

Before a downfall the heart is haughty

but humility comes before honor.

Proverbs 18:12

Seek First The Kingdom....

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Matthew 6:33

I love this scripture! it reassures me everytime i read it that all i need to to do is focus on God and the rest will be taken care of! this is God letting us know that we can trust him with our problems. that if we make sure his buisness is being taken care of that he will make sure our buisness is taken care of! it also has A LOT to do with trusting God. i mean think about it. he's specifically asking us to take our eyes and our minds off of our worldy affairs and put them on him. its not an easy task; if i can be real i have failed at this time and time again where i have focused and worried about school, and finances. worrying about those things doesnt change anything it just makes things worst!*learned that the hard way*

when you begin to truley trust God you seek him no matter the situation no matter what's around you. you can seek God in prayer, in reading the word of God, and in meditating on the word. when you're seeking God your eyes and concentration is on God and not your worldly affairs. He knows what he asked you, he knows all your worries and troubles, he knows its a big sacrafice and its difficult to set our minds on things unseen! why would he ask you to do this if he isnt gonna take care of all of that extra stuff?that would be horrible right? BUT....
he SAYS:
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, AND ALL these things will be given to you as well.
when God SPEAKS every word that comes out of his mouth is truth...he's not a man that he should LIE. so if he says seek him FIRST and everything in your life will be taken care of then best believe that God meant what he said. God didnt say seek me and MOST/SOME/MAYBE/A LITTLE/ONE/TWO....NO God said ALL things will be given to you as well.

God is DOPE!

when you seek him first. your trusting him. when you trust him. things work out.

Merry Christmas
