Matt.
6:33, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
and all these things shall be added unto you.”
If
you have been listening to the prosperity preaching, you may feel
disappointed because your thousand dollar check didn't come in the
mail last week. I am not looking for pie to fall from the sky for my
family when it comes to our personal needs and wants. But I am
expecting to receive just the right amount at the right time. God has
promised us that He would never leave us nor forsake us. That, my
friend, is what it is all about.
I'm
reminded of an old song, “I never promised you a Rose Garden.”
Too many people are looking for the Abundant Life to bring them much
pleasure and prosperity. That is not the Abundant Life the Word tells
us about. These things can become a ball and chain to distract,
divert, and confuse you about Your Divine Purpose that God has for
you alone. That is His main concern for us, “OUR PURPOSE IN HIM.”
But
Myra, are you saying to desire NOTHING? NO, I am saying SEEK FIRST
THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THESE THINGS WILL BE
ADDED UNTO YOU. Do you mean I can start looking for my "thousand
dollar" check in the mail? No, but you can start looking for
your ALL your needs to be met according to His riches in Glory.
When
everything looks barren and dead, God has prepared just what you need
to sustain you and take you to your final destination, HIS HOME IN
HEAVEN. Heaven will be more than we could ever dream or imagine, but
that is not the reason I want to go there. I want to forever be in
the presence of the Lord! There is where our soul will find rest.
(see Psalm 23) Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God!
