Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.Here's my 2 cents (if u feel I'm wrong, debate) :
Sometimes it's hard to explain to people who have not yet grasp the goodness, grace and favour of God. Sometimes we think that to gain God's favour, we have to use our effort 100% to get things done. (eg God helps those who helps themselves?) Eg.. the more you study, the more you can get good grades. The more hardworking you are, the more money you get. (The more handsome you are, the more you're likely to end up with a pretty girl?...eto) Logically thinking, this is right. But most of the time it's not (and people end up frustrated and disappointed?). Sure God will bless the dilligent, but sometimes, rather than trying so hard with your own strength (which may end up futile without Godly intervention), why not lift up your needs and request to God trusting that He will take care of everything as you seek Him and His will in your life.
If life was fair then look around you, why is it that some people try so hard but seem to lose out in life and other always seem to have favour following them around? Why is it that we try so hard to get something yet we dont?
My friend said, he's gonna start putting God his priority than studies. In a worldly sense.. it's just plain "WHA DA???!". But, I believe this Luke 12:31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Romans 9:15 (King James Version), 15For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
or
16So then [God's gift] is not a question of human will and human effort, but of God's mercy. [It depends not on one's own willingness nor on his strenuous exertion as in running a race, but on God's having mercy on him.]
Romans 9:16 (Amplified Bible)
(YAyy!! I want I want your mercy and compassion!!)
I say life is not fair... but if possible... can life be on my side? (God is on my side!! Gimme Grace and Favour favour favour...)
