Day 20: Meditate

“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)

There are many things that need our attention today, but let’s make room to meditate on these words of Jesus for a few moments. His words contain significant truth for how we are to prioritize our lives.

To meditate is to focus one’s thoughts on something. Take some time, slowly going through Jesus’ words again and again. Contemplate the meaning behind each word. Take your time with this.

As you do this, what stands out to you?

Jesus says to seek the Kingdom of God first. What are some things you’ve prioritized over God’s Kingdom? What can you do today to change this?

What does He say that God will do if you prioritize His Kingdom? How does that make you feel?

How can you do this at your workplace, in your neighborhood, with your family, and in your circle of influence?

Take some time and meditate on this.

I will meditate on your precepts
and fix my eyes on your ways.

Psalm 119:15 (ESV)
