Seek God

Matt 6:22 is one of the greatest portions of scripture in the New Testament.  Jesus calls people to Himself and tells how a person can succeed in life.  Jesus says that seeking the Kingdom of God is the first key to becoming the person God wants us to be.  The writer of Hebrew says that God will never turn aside a sincere seeker of God.  In fact He is the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.  Jesus then says when we seek the Kingdom of God, all things will be added unto us.  Paul reminds us in Rom 14:17 that the Kingdom of God has three components to it.  There is righteousness which is having a right standing with God.  You want right thinking, words and actions.  Next there is peace.  Peace of course is that absence of personal conflict with God and yourself.  Then lastly, joy, which is deep deated contentment.  You know God has everything under control no matter what you face.  When you put Jesus first everything is added to you.  Whatever you need the Lord will give it to you.  Being a Christian is so wonderful.  You have the Lord in your corner and on your side.  Divine aid and intervention are yours and it is only a prayer away.  Today walk in this knowledge and victory.  Your promises today are, Isaiah 41:10, Psalm 23:4, 34:10, 46:1, 71:1, John 8:36, Rom 8:32, 2 Cor 3:17, Phil 4:7 and 4:19.  Your Insightful Sayings are:  Live so well that even the town gossip would vouch for you.  Alcohol is an interesting substance.  It can heal a hurt when applied externally or it can destroy when applied internally.  It just depends on the application.
