Putting First Things First
1. A PURSUIT, “SEEK” = TO SEARCH FOR TO TRY TO FIND OR OBTAIN (Lk. 19:10; 1 Cor. 1:22; Heb. 11:6; Jn. 5:44)
2. A PRIORITY “FIRST” = “NO POSTPONING” (Mt. 5:24, 7:5; Isa. 55:6; Ps. 27:4)
3. A PRIVILEGE, “THE KINGDOM OF GOD” = “THE RULE OF THE UN-GRIEVED SPIRIT IN THE BELIEVER.” (Acts 1:8; 1 Cor. 4:20; Gen. 32:26, 28; Lk. 17:20-21; Ro. 14:17)
4. A PURITY, “AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS” = “A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD HIMSELF” (Deut. 4:29; Jer. 29:13; Mt. 5:8)
5. A PROMISE, “ALL THESE THINGS WILL BE GIVEN TO YOU AS WELL”
6. A PROVISIONS, “GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU”
7. A PRINCIPLE, “FORGET ABOUT ‘ALL THESE THINGS’ AND YOU WILL RECEIVE THEM. SEEK THESE THINGS AND THEY WILL ELUDE YOU” (Mt. 16:25; Jn. 12:25; 1 Jn. 5:3; Mt. 11:29)
“THOSE WHO FEED THEIR HEARTS, ON THE RECORD OF WHAT GOD HAS DONE IN THE PAST,
WILL NEVER WORRY ABOUT THE FUTURE.”
