SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM<\/p>\n

Well I heard you complained,
\nThat your table was so bare,
\nYou even accused the Lord,
\nSaid that He didn’t even care.<\/p>\n

But I have a quick question,
\nSo now let’s be really fair,
\nDid you get down on knees,
\nReach out to Him in prayer?<\/p>\n

Our God will indeed provide,
\nOn this I can surely swear,
\nIf we seek first the Kingdom,
\nAnd share His Word everywhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
