BALANCE

Matthew 6:33 says to “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well.”

“Seek first His kingdom…”

• We should always be thinking about Heaven.  What does God want from us?  Material possessions don’t matter, they won’t last, you can’t take it with you.
• God’s Kingdom is heaven.  Two songs come to mind, here: (1) “I Can Only Imagine” by Mercy Me and (2) “Deep Enough To Dream” by Chris Rice.

“His righteousness…”

• Pursue holiness, 1 Peter 1:16
• Oswald Chambers says “we must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life.  We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. ” (My Utmost For His Highest, Sept.1)

Go after God.  When prioritizing your life God should not be #1…God should already (and always) BE!!
