Seek God’s Kingdom First

Whenever seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness first. That’s the key to having a blessed and peaceful life. Not any kingdom of this world or our own justice first. Whenever in our life, good time hard time, easy day difficult day, seek God’s Kingdom and His righteousness first. Even if we cannot see it or feel it, keep seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness as our very first priority.

It is quite difficult to do it practically in this busy world today we live in. Many things capture our hearts as if they are claiming, “Hey, I am your first priority now! Take me first or you’ll be involved in bigger trouble!” “Nay, if you leave my problem and do other stuff first, I’ll cause another trouble for you, it will be complicated for you to resolve!” And our hearts, unfortunately, agree with them and think, “Yeah, practically, Kingdom of God and His righteousness first in this situation mean nothing, so I’ll do my priority and later when the difficult condition is gone, I’ll seek God’s kingdom.” Oh, I’m so sorry, that’s why many of us cannot experience God’s Kingdom in our real life.

What is the Kingdom of God? If we do not know it, we need to come to know God, who He is, how He does and what His desire is. It is good and it does great we will know. Family issue? School issue? Friend issue? Or job issue? Whatever now you have that involves worries, there you shall seek the Kingdom of God to come, for His will to be done, and for His righteousness. That’s the key to a successful life in Christ.

Today, this world seems more complicated and more troubles there, yet the Kingdom of God can be there if we ask and call and seek it first. Yes, that’s because God is seeking such a person who seeks His Kingdom. So that, God’s Kingdom will come down and magnify His name through our life!
