But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
What does it mean to "seek first the kingdom of God?" In one respect, it means moving forward. You move towards that which you seek. Is my life moving towards God, or away from God? Standing still is not an option. The currents of life naturally pull me away from God -- therefore, I must keep moving towards the "kingdom of God and His righteousness." How do I keep moving forward?
First, my priority must be the things of God. Is my life CENTERED in God? Second, am I OPEN to the guidance of the Holy Spirit? Third, are my RELATIONSHIPS God honoring? And finally, do I sense that I am EMPOWERED? Bottom line, am I living "A CORE Life?"
The way of the CORE Life is solitude, silence, and prayer (The Way of the Heart - Henri Nouwen). Are you living A CORE Life?
