DEVO. 08.21.24
“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” (Matthew 6:33 AMP)
- What kind of things are you aiming at today?
- What are you striving for?
- It’s important to know the answer to that question because if you aim at nothing, you will hit it.
- If you aren’t striving for anything, you will accomplish that.
- But days lead to weeks; weeks lead to months; months lead to years; years lead to decades, and decades lead to a lifetime.
- As a follower of Jesus, you cannot afford to aim at nothing.
- But Imagine aiming at the wrong thing your entire life and hitting it!
- Aiming at financial wealth and having it.
- Aiming at being successful in business and becoming very successful!
- Striving for popularity and being the most popular person around!
- That is called a tragedy, because you aimed after the wrong thing and you achieved it!
- But on the other side of that lifetime achievement is something called eternity.
- Jesus says, “And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?” (Mark 8:36)
- Eternity matters!
- The most important investment that a person can make on this side of eternity is an investment in the kingdom of God.
- Strive after a right relationship with Jesus!
- Start today!
- Aim at getting to know Him, today.
- Open your Bible and start reading.
- Begin a conversation by praying.
- Don’t wait, begin today!
- Today is the day of salvation!
- One decision can change your eternity!
- have a great Wednesday!
