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)

Thanks for this. It is a beautiful poetic reminder of what needs to be set straight today.
