“Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Matthew 6:33 The Bible is based on foundational principles and these principles are considered timeless, divine truths that help us make better decisions. If you live by God’s principles, life works much better. If you live by your own preferences, it’s a hit and miss. You choose whether you’re going to follow God’s principles or your own preferences.
