Seek First The Kingdom of God

Seek First The Kingdom of God - Daily Devotional

Bible Verse: "But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33

As a Christian, it's essential to have priorities that align with the kingdom of God. Our ultimate goal should always be to seek His kingdom and righteousness. This means that we should make our relationship with God a top priority and allow Him to guide our every step.

When we put God first, everything else in our lives will fall into place. We don't have to worry about our basic needs because God promises to provide for us. Jesus said in Matthew 6:31-32, "So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them."

Putting God first can be challenging in a world that constantly bombards us with distractions and demands our attention. It requires discipline and commitment to spend time with God daily, seeking His will, and making decisions that align with His word.

One way to seek God's kingdom is by prioritizing time with Him through prayer and reading the Bible. Another way is by living a life that reflects His righteousness. This means treating others with love, kindness, and respect, even when it's difficult. It also means forgiving others as God has forgiven us.

As we seek God's kingdom and righteousness, we can trust that He will provide for all our needs. We can live with peace and confidence, knowing that our priorities are in line with His will.

Prayer: Dear God, help me to seek Your kingdom and righteousness above all else. Give me the strength and discipline to make time for You each day, and help me to live a life that reflects Your love and grace. Thank you for providing for all my needs and guiding me on the path of righteousness. Amen.

Ask Massively - Daily Devotional

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. - John 14:13 - INSPIRATION - I would prefer to begin this devotion by supplying you with this challenge: ask God for nice things!

I would have you ever write in your diary what you'd ask God if you knew He heard your prayers. What dreams, hopes and aspirations does one have? What does one wish you'll see happen in your ...

SPEAK GOD’S LANGUAGE: Daily Devotional

Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:13). At Galatians 4:1-2, the Bible says, “Now I say that while the heir is a child, he is no different from the servant, though he is lord of all things; but is under governors and governors until the time appointed by the Father.” An heir is one to whom an inheritance has been bequeathed, a rightful heir to a state or position of high authority and wealth. However, as long as the heir is a child, this is no different than a servant. The word translated "child" is "nēpios", one who cannot speak properly or communicate wisely. One can be forty years old in Christianity and still be a “nēpios”; can't form the right words in the spirit realm. Yes, the Word says that we are heirs of God and are united with them in Christ, but "Nepios" cannot live the life of an heir. 1 Corinthians 3:2...

WHO IS THE HOLY SPIRIT?: Daily Devotional

And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Comforter (Counselor, Helper, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, and Standby), that He may remain with you forever (John 14:16 AMPC). The Holy Spirit is not smoke or a cloud, nor is He a light. He's not a thing! The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead. This is because He is the last of the Trinity known to us! In Genesis 1:1, God was introduced to us as “Elohim” (Hebrew). "Elohim" is the Hebrew plural for God. We are told in the second verse that "the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the deep." Although the Holy Spirit is the first to be revealed from "Elohim", he is the last known to us because of what Jesus said to his disciples in John 14:16-17: "And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another comforter who will be with you forever; Even the spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him and does not know him, but you do know him; ...
