Building Character
Read Matthew 6:31-33 – So
do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What
shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Know the Difference Between Need and
Want
One day I received the advice, “Be careful of what you want! If you want
it bad enough you might get it only to find out you really did not want
it!” Look at your life and see what it is that you are looking for. Is it
a better car with the best gadgets? Or could it be a home in the nicest
neighborhood? A new wardrobe, or boat… you get what I mean. The
bottomless pit of things we seek after keeps us on the trail where God
isn’t! Sir, if you don’t get a handle on this truth you will wake
up one day an old man still looking for something you really don’t need.
On the other hand, if you will seek after what you truly need you will be
blessed with an abundance of the other things. If I could be so bold to say
this: all we really need is Christ and His Kingdom. If you will help to
establish His Kingdom in your life then He will establish your life in His
Kingdom.
