Simba: It was the evening after...Pixie's entire backroom and offices had gone up in flames. Since Simba had failed. After getting checked out by the EMTs and given the all clear to go home--he'd crashed, hard, and slept until the next evening, until his alarm woke him. He had about two hours before the rehab closed to phone calls. Sighing, he rolled away from Berlioz, still asleep. Slipping from the bed, Simba went out onto the balcony, into the cool night air, closing the door behind him.

GOD FIRST. Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

PRIORITIZE: Not dreams, paychecks, education, or even family. Matthew 6:19-21 “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

GOD FIRST. John 3:30 “He must increase, but I [must] decrease.”

God WILL supply. Matthew 6:31-32 “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? [32] (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”

God WILL defend. Deuteronomy 20:4 “For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.” Joshua 23:3 “And ye have seen all that the Lord your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the Lord your God is he that hath fought for you.” Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 59:9 “Because of his strength will I wait upon thee: for God is my defense.” Exodus 14:14 “The Lord shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.”
