“Seek the
Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you
everything you need.”- Matthew
6:33 New Living Translation
Nothing
this side of heaven should be allowed to distract us from our right
relationship with God. That, obviously, is easier said than done. We must work
at it diligently; we must fight for it earnestly. With dogged determination we
are to stand tall in our faith and make our relationship with the Lord the most
important thing in our life.
It should be noted that our faith is counted to us as righteousness. We know
from the Gospels that it doesn’t take a whole lot of faith to please God. Why
it only takes a mustard seeds worth and a mustard seed is only as big as the
head of a straight pin. We must strive to live righteous lives, lives pleasing
to the Lord and the Lord alone. Our godly choices in life may not please those
we associate with, but that is unimportant. We must please the Lord with our
decisions and with our lives.
The last phrase of this verse tells is that everything we need shall be
provided. Our needs are vastly different than our wants or desires. God is very
aware of our desires and he will meet them as well as long as they are sought
with the right motivation. Live your life for others knowing full well that you
will not go without. That is God’s word for you today. Until next time, walk
with the King and be a blessing!
