In my last post I talked about how God provides your needs, in fact He is everything for you. He is your provider, He is your comforter, He is the One taking care of you. But there is a caveat to this. In order for God to provide for your needs, you must seek the Kingdom of God above everything. What does this mean? First, to seek something means to search it out through exhaustive measures. If means you must go after it with all you got. The Kingdom of God, as described in Romans 14:17 is peace, righteousness and joy in the Holy Spirit. This means you must pursue peace and joy and righteousness...and not only pursue it, but do your best to walk in it! If you are going around complaining about everything and being frustrated, or if you are constantly looking at the bad side of things...then you are not pursuing joy, peace and righteousness. When you start seeking joy, peace and righteousness, as described in Luke 12:31...and also in the book of Matthew), then God will provide for everyone of your needs. Notice that it didn't say seek your needs, it says seek His Kingdom. If you are seeking your needs, then you definitely will not find peace and joy, but you will find frustration and most likely an unmet need.
Take Away: Its not too late to seek joy, peace and righteousness. Make a decision today to seek God's Kingdom instead of your need.
