Let Us Seek FIRST The Kingdom Of God

 In this everyday world, the struggles and strivings in life have become an accepted 'norm'. This passage exposes the attitude of the majority, where a passion to accumulate wealth and the desire for more possessions, not only gives birth to greed and selfishness, but causes us to worry about things we need, strive for things we desire, crave things we want and fight to gain more 'things' in the roundabout of life.
 However, the truth of this verse is staggering, when once accepted and applied. Our minds should not cave into life's problems and perplexities, but should be fashioned in the likeness of the heavenly Father. Anxious thoughts and futile strivings, in their various disguises, is a sin that reflects unbelief in God's gracious promises of provision. How much more important that we should praise and thank God that we have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb and forgiven of the sins we commit.
 Let Us Seek FIRST The Kingdom Of God and His righteousness, by seeking Christ and setting the eyes of our heart on the beauty of the Lord Jesus and trusting Him in every circumstance of Life, even when we don't understand, for in doing so, the worry of the world will be replaced with the wisdom of the WORD, as our mind rests in Him.
But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.

Our United Prayer:
Father, You have shown us that every thought that comes into our minds can be turned to evil or good, worry or faith, defeat or victory. Thank You that we have access to the very mind of Christ through the Holy Spirit. Help us to take every thought captive by turning our hearts to the Lord Jesus. In seeking Him we will be seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, which is our bedrock of faith in God. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN.
