Luke 12:32
"“Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom."
God desires to give us the Kingdom. I don't have to worry about or strive for the things of this world; what I will eat or drink or wear; the things of the kingdom are greater than these. God knows I need these things and will provide them and so much more!
But my tendency is to long for the things of this world rather than the stuff of heaven. Perhaps I am too focused on the temporal and tangible. Perhaps I don't fully understand the treasures of the Kingdom. But I bet if I obeyed Jesus and sold my earthly treasures I might discover the heavenly ones He desires to give me. I need to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and let my heart long for His treasures - then I may know and understand and receive.
Father - teach me to hold loosely to the stuff of earth and strive for the stuff of heaven. Change my focus to Your Kingdom and what You desire for me. Amen.
