Lately I've been literally trying to live out the scripture verse that says:
"Seek the Kingdom of God, above all else, and live righteously, and He will give you everything you need." (Matthew 6:33).
But what does that look like in 2014? What does that look like in my life?
I have spent time reflecting and considering this and the LORD has been revealing some fulfilling things for my heart and soul as a result.
You see, we've had an interesting few months dealing with a situation that we never thought we would have to deal with and it has hurt us. Rather than let it get to us, we are claiming the scripture verse above.
This has been a good lesson for us to focus on the main things... "keep the main thing, the main thing!"
So this verse has played itself out in my life as I intentionally invest in the relationships that matter most to me--with my LORD, Andy and Elijah, corps families, people we minister to (i.e. everyone we come into contact with!), and friends.
When we apply scripture to our lives it comes alive with power and it is beautiful. But how often do we hear the words, recite the words, or preach the words and not actually believe it to be true? Sure, we say we believe and we may think we believe it, but somehow we rob the power out of it.
Spirit-filled living is reading the word, applying it, and believing it to come true (united and believing prayer)--waiting in expectation for it to happen.
So how do you seek first the Kingdom of God in your life, and live righteously? Literally how do you do it? Not the appearance of it by vocation, but truly?
Do it and God's power will manifest through your life and into those around you.
Still seeking,
