Daily Bread – March 12, 2022 (The Seventh Day – Genesis 2:1-3) Matthew 6:30 – But if God clothes the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven – how much more you, you of little faith? Prioritizing The Kingdom Of God Everyone has a choice: you can either live in the fear and anxiety that comes from little faith, or you can live in joy and peace through believing (Romans 15:13). The difference will be made based on your priorities. If you continue to focus on how to take care of yourself and take care of all of your earthly needs above all else, then you will continue to live in fear and anxiety. However, if you turn your eyes instead to the things belonging to the Kingdom of God, and make God’s priority for your life first – then, He will most certainly take care of you, and you will fully benefit from the abundant life purchased for you by Jesus Christ. The stress, the worry, and the wrong prioritization must come to an end. Trying to find time at the end of the day to fit God into our busy schedules is not God’s prioritization. We must work and be diligent in business; however, for the most part we have taken it all too far – and have instead allowed the cares of this life, the pleasures of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches to rob us of spiritual growth and mountain-moving faith. Did Israel inherit the promised land by all of their hard work and ambition? Did our salvation come through our own efforts? No, all these things came by the good pleasure of God – Who works on behalf of those that believe. God has purposed for us to have days of Heaven on Earth, and that we excel and increase in every dimension of life; not by our power and strength, but by the walk of faith (Deuteronomy 8:16-18; Zechariah 4:6; 3 John 1:2).
