Seek first His kingdom
and His righteousness, and all
these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
Life is a lot like a coin; you can spend it any way you
wish, but you can spend it only once.
Choosing one thing over all the rest throughout life is a difficult
thing to do. This is especially true when the choices are so many and the
possibilities are so close at hand.
To be completely truthful with you, however, we aren't left
with numerous possibilities. Jesus Himself gave us the top priority: "Seek
first His kingdom and His righteousness." . . .
If I am to seek first in my life God's kingdom and God's
righteousness, then whatever else I do ought to relate to that goal: where I
work, with whom I spend my time, the one I marry, or the decision to remain
single.
Every decision I make ought to be filtered through the
Matthew 6:33 filter.
