EPISODE 10 SEEK THE KINGDOM... JUST BREATHE

Devotions & Word-Spirations with LaShanda Lewis

Matthew 6:31-33 31 “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Have you ever been working on a project that had so many parts and all of them seemed equally important then you found yourself overwhelmed and worked up because if you’re like me you tried working on all of them in the same day or hour because you were worried something wasn’t going to get done.

Smh!

I came across Matthew 6:31-33 and the words

SEEK THE KINGDOM ABOVE ALL ELSE... really stuck out to me in such a powerful way.

I don’t know about you but sometimes I find myself worked up trying to make moves in anxiety and not realizing all while being stressed out because I’m trying to do everything and not accomplishing real meaningful things.

When I sit back and examine the root it's a ridiculous reason for my hast. I love how in Matthew 6:31 it uses the words “things” if you’re reading the NLT version, that shows me that it encompasses so much more than our basic necessities. And really the point is to START with seeking the kingdom.

How do you know I you may be dealing with an episode of anxiety and worry

• Are you all over the place trying to make it happen? Probably anxiety
  
• Do you feel OK with working on one thing or are you kinda antsy? Probably worry.
  
• Are the what-ifs firing off in your head like 4 of July fireworks? Probably Doubt
  
• Are you feeling like you should have jumped on this a long time ago? Probably anxiety again
  

Honestly, the remedy is to do what the word says and seek the kingdom of God First, ABOVE ALL ELSE. be firmly planted in knowing that when you seek Him and take time to listen you’ll be right where you need to be right on time.

Blessings
