Seek First the Kingdom of God. What's that?

"Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be given to you"

We hear it all the time, but do we really have any idea what it means? Most of the time it's used as a "how-to-be-blessed formula", but I doubt that it was ever meant to be like that.

I read a blog from a long-time friend in Ireland today. Allow me to quote him a little.

"Edification does not mean making you feel good. It means to build up; and that is bound to mean knocking down a few things first, such as ego, personal ambition, and so on.)"

Life is so short. It seems there is so much to do and so little time to do it in. Which keeps making us busier and busier with less and less time for God.

So my blogs will be short. I figure if I spend more time reading the Word and praying, and less time writing, what comes out will be owrth more in the end.

This is definately a season of change. Did I mention lately that I hate change? Those who know me know that I do. My emotions don't always submit to my intellect, never mind the Word of God and fear of the unknown can be overwhelming at time. Silly, when we know that all things work together for good for those who know God and are called accoring to his purpose.

So off I go, to be built up - one way or the other.
