It has been a while since I have posted, I allowed myself to get too busy! However, recently the Lord is reminding me that I once again have missed the mark.
This semester the reoccurring verse that is being presented to me through friends, discipleship, and my daily walk is one that most have heard, but I feel we never truly grasp!
Matthew 6:33 "But seek FIRST his KINGDOM and his RIGHTEOUSNESS and all else will be added to you.
Simple right. We know the drill. I have got this..
WRONG.
Do we really seek the kingdom of the Lord first in every single decision that is being made? I know that I don't. I am selfish and tend to pursue what I want and not necessarily being concerned with how the Lord really desires for my routine to go.
So why is this on my mind. Well it is simple, it all comes back to this verse. When my life seems chaotic, when I think that my current battle is all consuming, when I give into my flesh, when I pursue the world and get burned; the cause obvious. Who's kingdom are we really seeking.
Recently the Lord has been reminding me that spiritual warfare is so real.. we need to be ready. When temptation and trials come. When things happen that are not what we had planned. Tragedy. How are we going to respond. I once heard it said, "When you get squeezed, what will you ooze.."
As real as it gets,
Becks
