Seek First The Kingdom
Mat 6: 33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
We all want to love God more than anything and give Him priority in our live’s but……The truth is that most of us aren’t there yet. Why?Maybe because we don’t know that we love other things more than we love God. Love isn’t something you can show or give with word’s but with your acts.
If we love God more than anything, God becomes our priority. If God is our priority, we will try harder to reach and to do God’s will. So if God’s will is our priority we should feel the urge to fulfill God’s will, the same or even greater as the urge of paying our bills,eating,studing,working.
Does this means we need to leave everything and go praying and fasting?”NO”but it means to let our choices we make during the day be guided by God.”What? Does it mean that we need to pray everytime we are going to make a choice?”NO”and”Yes”.Praying is communicating with God. We don’t need to be in a special position to pray. We can also walk and talk with God.
All this is nice to say,but can it be done?”Yes,Jesus showed us that it can be done when He lived as a man on earth. Our main problem is that we don’t know what God wants. So our first step is getting to know God,Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We can get to know God by reading the Bible and talking(praying,worshiping) Him.
So, by reading the bible and praying we get to know God, which means the more we read and the more we pray the faster we get to know God. So if God is our priority then reading the bible and praying is our priority .
What we need to do is to stop trying to fit God’s will into our personal goals and make God’s will our goal. We must stop making excuses about time. We should start reading the bible and praying in the time that is left for this earth. God may soon bring an end to this world so before Gods judgements are on earth lets use our time wisely. ”Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice,and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned”. John 5:28-29 NIV
God Bless you all in the name of Jesus.
