Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."We live in a world where the pursuit to happiness is everything... yet the world has a different perception to the reality of happiness. In the world's eye it is to be successful and to make something extraordinary out of your life. Now i am not disagreeing with this at all but I think we need to have a look at the means by which we do so! Ever heard a person saying he/she is married to their job? Well this is a very dangerous statement! What is the last thought that crosses your mind when you fall asleep? Or the first one as you wake up? If i was to tell you that your future are taken away from you... would state that everything has been take from you? Se the things of this world became our everything in the pursuit to fit into this world.
Romans 12:1 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."The Bible speaks of us presenting ourselves as a living sacrifice. That means everything you are is focused on God and on worshiping Him.... this includes your hopes, plans, ambition, future, dreams, actions and even your very breathing!
God simply isn't satisfied with only half of you or even with 99.9% of you.... He demands it all! Is God really everything to you... is He all you think, dream and talk about day in and day out? Is He your obsession or just a sideline acquaintance?
