Walking With Christ

Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.(ESV)

Today is a hard lesson. It’s one the bears repeating on blast until every fiber of life itself is simply soaked in it.

It doesn’t matter where we are in our walk with God. It doesn’t matter how bad things seem to be or how terrible we think we are. It doesn’t matter what worries or fears we are facing. It doesn’t matter what challenge that sits in front of us or giant that is starting us down.

There is no worry, anxiety, challenge, problem, obstacle, or anything else that is not smaller than the God we serve. There is no part of this journey that He does not have complete control over outside of those things that we insist in keeping for ourselves.

Read that last part until it sinks in. Anything that we completely turn over to God is in His hands and will be turned to the glory of His kingdom which is ultimately for our benefit.

Seek Him first. Seek His kingdom first. Put Him first. If we are focused on putting Him first then we are not focused on ourselves. When we focus on ourselves, the world image we maintain gets skewed and it becomes so much easier for the enemy to help us to believe the lies and fall into the many snares he has lain for us.
