Heavenly Priorities


Matthew 6

The lamp of the body is the eye very bright,
It will shine brightly doing what is right;
If you have an evil eye no light be within,
Darkness will follow everywhere you been;
No man or woman can serve two masters,
Setting priorities is what really matters;
For you will love the one or hate the other,
Maybe respect the one or despise another;
Be not anxious for your life about eating,
Is there not more to life than just feeding?
Behold and see the birds flying in the air,
They don't plant or reap or store in a lair;
Our Heavenly Father ensures they're fed,
Rather than them being farmers instead;
Aren't you more valuable than are they?
Please understand what I try to convey;
For after all these things that you seek,
For God knows what needs are weak;
But seek first for God and His Domain,
All things are provided where he reign.
