What Are You Seeking?

-
What are you seeking today?

Matthew 6:33 says, “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

What do you seek first?

· The approval of people or the smile of God?
· Your will or God’s will?
· To be understood, or to understand?
· To be loved, or to love?
· To fulfill your desires or to fulfill God’s desire?
· To be blessed, or to be a blessing?
· Receiving attention from others, or giving attention to God?
· A good name, or to honor God’s name?
· Control or to give God the control?
· Your plan or God’s plan?

I have discovered that we too often wait for the greater things to seek us, while we go out seeking the lesser things.

If we seek the Kingdom of God first, the other things will be added. If we seek the other things first, we will fall short on all accounts.

Whatever you seek first – that is your greatest treasure.
“Where your treasure is, your heart will be also.” (Mat. 6:21)

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema
