Day 21: Seek

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

Matthew 6:33 (NLT)

As we continually abide in God’s love through prayer, we find the ultimate craving in our soul is satisfied in communion with Him. What the world offers in success, pleasure, and purpose becomes less gratifying as we discover these answers are truly found in our relationship with God.

Today we return to Jesus’ words and meditate on them once more. Let’s allow the Holy Spirit to speak through these instructions of Jesus for how we are to live as members of His Kingdom.

Look over Jesus’ words again.

What stands out to you today? What might you have skipped over previously?

What does Jesus mean when He says “live righteously”?

Consider His life. He modeled this right living for us.

What does it mean for you today? What must you adjust to live more in line with Christ’s righteousness?

Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you in this today, and every day.

Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.

Do everything without complaining and arguing, so that no one can criticize you. Live clean, innocent lives as children of God, shining like bright lights in a world full of crooked and perverse people.

Philippians 2:12b-15 (NLT)
