Seek FIRST the Kingdom of God

In this time and age where we live in, we are constantly on the go. We have so much to accomplish everyday, there is no time to lose.

Some of us are students rushing projects, some of us are working adults trying to hit our datelines to please our bosses, some of us have to help take care of our families because they need us, some of us have so many friends we spend all our time with different groups of them, that by the time we finish one cycle, it's time to go back to the first group. Some of us are so tired during the week because of activities, the weekends are reserved for sleeping.

Every reason stated above is legitimate and fair.

But because time is finite, we often choose the more important things we want to accomplish, leaving out those things which are less important to a later date.

When we are squashed for time and under immense stress, we often reveal what are our priorities. Our priorities are not what we say with our mouths, but rather, are manifested in the way we spend our time.

For a kid who spends all his time on video games, his priority are video games. For a teenager who spends all her time on chasing idols, her priority is her idol.

Seek first the Kingdom of God means you make the House of God your priority. Everything else that you can shift around you go ahead and shift. Your life revolves around the Christ and the church. Not the other way round.

Only by putting Christ in the center of your life can there be abundant life and victory.

"We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed-"
