Which Kingdom are we Seeking?

 1 Samuel 22; Psalms 17, 35; Matthew 6 

“’But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.’”

Matthew 6:33, 34

What we worry about reveals where we need breakthroughs in our faith, hope, and love. Jesus’ call to refocus our goals, thoughts, and affections on seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, is a call to freedom from worry about things that will not remain. It is also a call to trust that God is enough. The King offers us righteousness through Christ so we can enter his kingdom, and then fills us with peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Our worries reveal where we are being invited to trust our Father the King for his will in our lives, rather than our will. The kingdom of this world creates demands for its products and experiences and promises us happiness. Our Father invites us to find our joy and the peace of contentment in him.

“Father, you are my life. I find my peace in you, for your glory.”
