Seeking His Kingdom

Matthew 6:33, "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (NJKV)

 

Each of us must choose which kingdom that we are going to seek.  Will we seek after the Kingdom of God or will we seek after the kingdoms of this world?  The culture of this world offers many options with various solutions (so called) to the array of problems and situations that we are facing.  How will we respond to this question that we face on a daily basis?  We have to remind ourselves that we are a eternal creation of God and not just a temporary traveler down the path of life.  It does make a difference and it will make a difference in the choices that we make as we pass through this world.  Someone has said, "Life is a lot like a coin; you can spend it any way you wish, but you can spend it only once." (Emphasis added)  That statement reminds us of the great need to make the right choices during our lifetime.  We must choose the "best and right" thing to do; and that is seek the Kingdom of God with all of our heart, mind, and strength.  As I seek the Kingdom of God I begin to realize that all of the decisions of my life are seen through the prism of His Kingdom reigning and ruling in my life.  The Kingdom of God becomes the measuring stick of those lifestyle decisions that not only affect me but those who reside in my household.  The Kingdom of God is not an uncomfortable harness that is placed on me to make sure that my life stays pleasing to God.  No, a thousand times NO.  The Kingdom of God provides the freedom that I need to make the proper decisions that brings the favor of God which opens the door for the blessings of God. 

 

Let us rejoice in the promises of His Kingdom being released in our lives!
