'Instead, strive for His kingdom'...
those are words that pull me up short.
I believe in God's kingdom, I am a part of God's kingdom and I am working to build God's kingdom, but to strive for His kingdom INSTEAD of striving for other things is not how I live.
All too often I live with my sights set on the 'here and now'. And the anxiety follows because I face pressure, frustration and fears.
God is talking to me about making His kingdom my #1 pursuit and watching Him take care of everything else.
