“One thing I ask of the Lord, this
is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my
life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to seek him in his temple.”
“But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
Once we accept the free gift of
grace purchased by Christ’s blood and begin following after God, there is one
thing we ought to be seeking above anything else. The kingdom of God may often
seem like some far off end goal in our lives, something attainable after we
have lived out our lives, but the Lord’s prayer teaches us to pray for, “Your
kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” If we are
constantly seeking His kingdom, to dwell with Him and desire His will in
everything we do, delighting in His power and glory, everything else will fall
into place as we become more like Him. The more we spend time with Him desiring
what He desires for our lives, the more we begin to reflect Him in our actions
and speech. When we seek God’s kingdom, we are seeking Him and His will.
