SEEK FIRST (and then act from a divine source)

Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness
And all these things will be given to you as well

Those of us ready to submit to the will of God
Still have a difficult time letting go
Or knowing what he would have for us

Some of us are smart enough to know we don’t know
But not smart enough to figure out our purpose
In the chaos and addictive booby traps of the world

Seek first his kingdom
And his righteousness

This statement can act as an anchor in the storm of life

It gives us a direction
So that when we first seek him
Our actions become aligned with revelations that bloom silently in our mind

Our minds where the battle of principalities are taking place
Are minefields of confusion

Thoughts are often demonic suggestions
Driving us crazy
And taking us down ludicrous pathways

But in our confusion
We can use the chaos to act as alarm bells
To seek first his kingdom and his righteousness

We can ask for guidance and silence

And it makes sense
That all these things will be given to us as well
Because we are tapping into our true purpose here
And not motivated by fear and lack
Which brings nothing but more fear and more lack

I’m not smart enough to always be aligned
But I’m smart enough to know when I’m not

And the pain of following the wrong voices
Down hapless avenues

But down those roads we get ravaged by demons
With self judgment and self condemnation

It was all a set up by the demons who gang stalk us and then jump us in the midst of our failures

They move in with words like knives
Meant to cut and take us out.

The good news is that at anytime
We can seek first his kingdom and his righteousness

We can hold out for his revelations
And then line ourselves up again on his pathway home
Where all these things will be
Given to us as well

The kingdom and the righteousness

The love of surrender
The front line on the spiritual battlefield that is our pursuits and our dreams

Flapping our wings for earthly success
Fame fortune and power
Isn’t the point of what motivates us

But we are here to act as well

We are here to bring something forward
So ambition itself is no bad thing

Unless it veers towards obsession and obliteration
Of seeking first his kingdom and righteousness

Think of this verse as the steering wheel
Keeping our direction clear and straight

And by sinning we simply
Go off road
Sin itself is just an archery term which means
Off the mark

So we correct our direction and our aim
We seek his light to illuminate our way back on the righteous path
Where our energies won’t be wasted or in vain

Help me father
To find my way back to you
Forgive me father for losing my way

Carry away these negative attitudes and behaviors
And the fear that drives them

Help me to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness
And help me to lead others to do the same

A prayer can help us find our way home
For on our own volition we can only do so much

Bat away the voices of condemnation
And begin again from where we are now

Forgive and let go
And that goes for yourself as well

Seek first his kingdom

What is his kingdom?

It’s a kingdom of love
Of grace
Of mercy
Of new days dawning
Of generosity
Of forgiveness
Of no anger
Of no guilt
Of perfect harmony
Of music and light
Of fearlessness
Of hope

And anything that tarnishes anything on that list that arises in our battered minds

Is not of his kingdom
But from the fear and damnation of the world

His kingdom is made of freedom and love

And so when we operate out of those qualities
Are work resonates on those frequencies as well

So that we invite into our world
The blessings from the kingdom of God

It’s a simple equation
That is easy to forget

To spring out of bed
Motivated by fear and anxiety is nothing but the gravity of the world

But when we seek first his kingdom of freedom
And his clarity of love
The fruits of our labor shall not be wasted
Or scattered on roads of fear.
