Patience Day 54
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these
things shall be added to you.
Matthew
6:33
There is virtue in preparation and planning. In fact, the Boy
Scout motto is “Be prepared.” It is easy, however, for us to become so focused
on our plans that our preparation grows from preparedness to preoccupation to
worry. It is easy to waste our time and emotional energy with concerns for what
we should do, could do, or what might happen next. Thankfully, Jesus has given
us a simple system for preparation with two active steps: 1) seek the kingdom
of God and 2) seek God’s righteousness.
Seeking is not something we do passively. Seeking is an
action we do with purpose. When we actively seek the kingdom of God first, we
are forced to prioritize. When we are intentional about seeking God’s
righteousness, we are forced to evaluate our priorities. In fact, through
seeking God’s righteousness, we may discover that our plans and preparations
need to change. Suddenly, the things that concerned us the most may seem less
significant, when looked upon with a Godly-kingdom perspective.
