Read Matthew 6:22-34
We have been looking at the value of godliness in all parts of our lives. Understanding that godliness is not just a Sunday church thing, but is an everyday lifestyle. Today we are going to see the key to living a lifestyle of godliness in verse 34. Seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness. What are you seeking in your life? Popularity, good grades, friends, a guy, a girl, be the best athlete, acceptance, etc...... Listen those things are not bad. Those things are what’s natural to seek. However the Bible tells us that if anything good or bad takes the place of God it is an idol. That’s when things like this become wrong. Because so much of our time can be dedicated to these that God gets pushed aside. That is wrong. Let me ask you a question. Do you think you can be a better student, athlete, friend with or without God? I guarantee that if you are trying to be a good student, athlete or friend without God then you are not being all you could be. Listen from every example in scripture when God was on a person side they did incredible things. The same God that they served is the same God that is saying seek first my kingdom and my righteousness. He is the same God that can do incredible things through you as well. Won't you seek Him? Won't you live for Him?
Father thank you for calling us to live at a higher standard. Thank you that when we seek you, you promise to go with us no matter what. Use us to our fullest potential and do great and mighty things through us.
