Is God’s Kingdom My FIRST Pursuit?

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His right-eousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

Is God’s RIGHT-ness My FIRST Plan

If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory

Only One LifeOnly one life to offer-

Jesus, my Lord and King;

Only one tongue to praise Thee,

and for thy mercies sing forever;

Only one heart’s devotion

Savior, O may it be

Consecrated alone to Thy matchless glory,

Yielded fully to Thee

Only one life to offer-

Take it dear Lord I pray

Nothing from Thee withholding

Thy will now I now obey (my Jesus)

Thou who hast freely given

Thine all in all for me,

Claim this life for Thine own, to be used

My Savior, ev’ry moment for Thee
