Seek first the kingdom of God
Quote from the words of Jesus
Matthew 6:24-34
¶ “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth (the world).
¶ For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.
Are you not worth much more than they?
And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?
And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you?
You of little faith! Do not worry then, saying,
‘What will we eat?’ or
‘What will we drink?’ or
‘What will we wear for clothing?’
For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
¶ So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.”
{{{ Take always; Adapt your life to these:
A. You can not serve two masters, chose Christ Jesus OR wealth (Money, the world, evil)
B. Do not be worried about your life
C. As to what you will eat
D. Or what you will drink;
E. nor for your body, as to what you will put on
F. Are you not worth much more than birds whom God feeds or the lilies of the field
G. your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things
H. seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
I. and all these things will be added to you.
J. do not worry about tomorrow
K. tomorrow will care for itself.
L. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
These 12 items if you will apply your life to them, you will see great growth in your life.
1. Serve God, Christ Jesus
2. Give your cares to the Lord and quite worrying
3. Don’t be so concerned about what you will eat, drink or wear.
4. GOD considers you of more value then His other creations whom He takes care of.
5. GOD knows your needs
If you will place as your number one priority to be seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness
All your needs will be taken care of
And you will have no need to worry about tomorrow.
Let GOD take care of tomorrow.
Matthew 6:33 “But seek first His (Christ Jesus) kingdom and His (Christ Jesus) righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
1Peter 2:21-23
For you have been called for this purpose,
since Christ also suffered for you,
leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps, WHO COMMITTED NO SIN, NOR WAS ANY DECEIT FOUND IN HIS MOUTH;
and while being reviled,
He did not revile in return;
while suffering, He uttered no threats,
but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds, you were healed.
For you were continually straying like sheep, but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Are you seeking the righteousness of Christ Jesus?
Are you living out the examples Christ left us in the Bible?
Have you even searched out the examples????
No sin??
how is your language when being reviled do you use scornful or abusive language??
When being mistreated do you utter threats??
Are you entrusting yourself who judges righteously, GOD,
To Christ Jesus Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross??
Jesus gave up His life on the cross so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness for by His wounds, you were healed.
It is time to returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.
Think about it.
Are you serving Christ Jesus?
Are you living in Him?
Or are you living for self?
Are you living within the world’s ways?
The way designed by the evil one?
And yet aging we return to this.
It is your choice; To serve the Lord,
or not.
