In Matthew 6:33, the Lord urges us to seek first His Kingdom and His ways of being and doing right. As a result, He promises all other things will be added to us in abundance.
So what does seeking God’s Kingdom as our priority, practically look like? It begins with starting our day with our minds on Him! It means giving Him the first portion of our day’s schedule – spending time in His Presence and His Word. It involves us acknowledging Him in all things, throughout our day; constantly allowing Him to direct our steps. It’s walking through the day with a heart in love with Him, taking pleasure in pleasing Him, and delighting in His closeness as He whispers wisdom and encouragement into our hearts.
A living, loving relationship with the Lord is fuelled and empowered when we feast on His Word. We begin viewing every opportunity and obstacle from His perspective. It’s a vantage point that causes us to make quality, Godly decisions, that lead to breakthrough, prosperity and His promises being manifest in our lives. As a result, His desires become our own and we walk willingly and joyfully in His perfect will. This is how we live for His kingdom, and see the benefits overshadow and overflow everything we do in this life.
