Truth about seeking God first.

In Matt 6:33, Jesus says that if we seek the Lord with all our hearts all these things we be added unto us.  In recent days I have seen such a miracle.  My brother in law whose name is Dave was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of cancer and he was given some three months to live.  That was last June.  According to the doctors Dave should have been dead by Thanksgiving.  Well yesterday which of course was Thanksgiving, Dave was eating Thanksgiving dinner with us.  Dave who had been a nominal Christian up to his news of cancer has since become a strong follower of Jesus Christ.  As Dave says, "When you are faced with death it changes your whole outlook on life."  Recently I spent some two and half hours with Dave.  He told me his journey back to faith, his renewed love for Jesus Christ and how God was in the process of healing him.  The doctors told him he would never be able to ate a meal again with out a feeding tube.  He eat a wonderful dinner last night.  They said the cancer was aggressive and the tumors would just get bigger.  He had a report and it stated the tumors have gotten smaller.  They told him that surgery was not an option for him and now they are planning to operate to remove the tumors.  Every step has been a miracle.  Dave has got a long way to go but with prayer and determination he believes He will be here for a long time.  But as Dave puts it, "Even if I do not beat cancer I will still win, I will be with the Lord."  What a great attitude and miracle.  Paul, says, "To live is Christ and to die is gain."  It all started with seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all things will be added unto you.
