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.”
