A young woman was rummaging through her closet. She had been trying to decide what to wear for her job interview all morning. She wanted to look professional, but she also wanted to look her best. She felt like her whole future was riding on this interview.
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She tried to remember the verse that her pastor had preached on last Sunday. “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” She repeated the verse to herself.
She opened her eyes and looked at her closet again. She knew that she didn’t need to worry about what she was going to wear. She knew that God would take care of everything. She just needed to trust in Him and believe that He would lead her to the right job.
She got dressed and went to the interview. She was nervous, but she knew that God was with her. She answered all the questions honestly and confidently. She felt like she had made a good impression.
A few days later, she got a call from the company. She had gotten the job! She was so excited. She knew that it was because she had put God first in her life.
The young woman’s story is a reminder that when we seek God first, He will take care of everything else. We don’t need to worry about our future. We just need to trust in Him and believe that He will lead us to the right path.
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Matthew 6:33
