Seek This First

There are plenty of things that fight for our attention. Our time and schedules get filled with people and responsibilities—each with their own needs and urgency.

In Jesus’ famous sermon in Matthew 6, He spends time talking about the various things in life that we give our attention to. Jesus tells us that instead of spending our time worrying about our basic desires in life, we should seek His Kingdom and His righteousness. If we do that, then everything else will be taken care of.

So what does it mean to seek God’s kingdom and God’s righteousness?

God’s kingdom is about God’s rule and reign over all of creation. His kingdom began in Jesus’ ministry on earth and is now expanding and continuing through the Church. The work of the kingdom is to continue to tell others about the hope of Jesus, and to teach all the things Jesus has commanded us.

To seek God’s righteousness is to desire to live the way God intended. It is to live according to God’s commands, which requires that we make decisions that align with God’s Word.

Jesus says that if we do these two things—seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness—then every other area of our life will make sense. When we don’t prioritize God’s desires for our life first, then we will end up worrying about things that are temporary.

Living a life according to God’s Word ought to be our greatest priority, because God’s Kingdom will last forever.

Think about how you spend your time. Do you worry about things that are outside of your control? Consider how you can live for God’s kingdom rather than the things of earth. In what ways can you reprioritize your life in order to seek righteousness? Rather than worrying about things in life you can’t control, pray for God to meet your needs.

A Good Father

What emotions come to mind when you think about an earthly father? Regardless of what your relationship with your dad was like, your Heavenly Father is more incredible than you could possibly fathom.

“The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.”
Psalm 103:13 NLT

Inspired by the Holy Spirit, David, the writer of this Psalm, is trying to convey the depth of God’s compassion. And what example does he turn to? A good father.

When his kids are babies, a good father holds them, feeds them, clothes them, and provides for their every need.

When they’re children, a good father teaches them, plays with them, disciplines them, and comforts them.

When they’re teenagers, a good father listens to them, guides them, forgives them, and empowers them.

“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!”
Matthew 7:9-11 NIV

There’s not much that can rival a parent’s love for their child. But, still, it’s merely a shadow of God’s great love for you!

So if you’re feeling lost, He wants to lead you towards life.

If you’ve messed up, He wants you to experience His mercy.

If you’re heartbroken, He wants to wrap you in His comfort.

If you’re defeated, He wants to remind you who you are—His child.

“See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are!”
1 John 3:1 NIV

Right now, process what it means to have a good, compassionate Father. Are there any untruths or half-truths that have kept you distant from God? Ask Him to help break down the walls you’ve built, and restore your childlike trust in Him.

“As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear Him.” -Psalm 103:13
