First.

That's the title of the song I've had on my heart this last day or so. Its sung by Lauren Daigle who is an awesome christian artist. She is a former American Idol contestant. Several of her songs have popped up on Pandora when I'm listening.

I find it so interesting how the Holy Spirit speaks to us. Sometimes through something we have come across over and over again but it isn't relevant until that particular moment. Like this song for example. How many times have I skipped it on Pandora in the past. Well the words really called out to me recently. It starts off first "before I bring my need I will bring my heart, before I lift my cares I will lift my arms". How good is that? It was such a good reminder to me. Especially as I'm really learning on how to grow my prayer life.

It is a reminder that although Matthew 7:7 says "Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you." We should remember to seek his face and worship him before anything. His presence alone can equip us with everything we need to face life's challenges. Its such a good song I recommend checking it out "First" by Lauren Daigle. 

It's probably safe to say she is one of my favorite artists now because another one of my songs from her is "Here's my Heart".
