Does This Put The Kingdom of God First?
From Pastor Tim Olof
Matthew 6:31-33
“Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Jesus doesn’t tell us to just stop worrying. He tells us to replace worry with a concern for the kingdom of God.
This choice to seek the kingdom of God is the fundamental choice everyone makes when they first repent and are converted. Yet every day after that, our christian life will either reinforce that decision or deny it.
God, may I ask myself this question before I make decisions: “Does this put the kingdom of God first?”
Love,
Tim
