If is a very
important word in our vocabulary. It
speaks of conditions. The result depends
on the performance. It is noteworthy how
many times God uses the word in connection with His promises.
Here the Lord
promises to take care of us every day of our lives, IF we live for Him and make
His Kingdom our primary concern. The
Lord’s promise is not a blanket statement for all who profess Him as Savior of
life. We must live for Him and make His
Kingdom our main focus in life.
We cannot live for Him
and have other agendas in our lives. The
Lord must be our main focus. He will not
share our loyalties. Living for Him means
that we take a back seat to Him. We live
to honor Him. We desire that He gets the
glory and not ourselves. We commit
ourselves to not only being like Him, but to being ambassadors for Him in the
world.
Making the Kingdom of
God our primary concern means that we are one with the Lord in His agenda. We are seeking out the lost that they may be
saved. We are determined to do all we
can do to make a difference for Christ in the world. We are so tied to God’s agenda that it is all
we live for. We live for what is before
us and not what is around us.
The Lord’s promise is
to supply every need of our lives when our living is right. There is nothing lacking in His
provision. He lovingly provides what we
need and lovingly withholds from us what we want when it conflicts with what is
good for us.
Is the Kingdom of God
your primary concern in life?
