What do you seek?

Hear the word of God:

That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?

And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

So don't worry about these things, saying, 'What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today.
Matthew 6:25-34

How well have you been seeking lately? Has that been where your main passions and heart have been focused? For many of us, we may not be able to say that. We may say that we have been too busy with the day to day. We have had so many things to catch up on. We have had so many people demanding our time. Could you imagine living a life with no concerns like the lilies of the field? Could you imagine just getting up and going out like the birds and collecting just what you needed for that moment? These animals and plants and nature all allow God to be their supply.

What would this look like for a Christian? We don’t plan our lives around how much money or how many things that we have. We just live for the day and try our best to be our best for God. We try our best to influence as many as possible that day. We try our best to be there for our families first. We try our best to Seek God above all else! This comes through study, prayer, silence and solitude with God, worship, and just being with our maker. Some days the simple life sounds so beautiful and some days it seems like something that would be so hard to obtain. I guess none of us will ever find out unless we start out on that journey and seek!
