Famished

Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. (Matthew 6:33 NLT)

What does it mean to seek the Kingdom of God, and how does one live righteously? Granted, the resulting reward for this action is an amazing promise, but who is making this promise and do I believe what he is saying? Do I trust him?

Let's unpack this.

The Kingdom of God is . . .? What is it? And where might it be? I really need to figure out what it is I am looking for if I am going to seek it. And, why is it hidden from me, anyway? Seeking sounds to me like it is going to require action on my part. Real action. Intentional action. I may stumble upon it, but that won't happen if I am not walking in the right place. Do I have time for this? Is this really something that matters to me? I mean, is it important enough because it sounds like it might require commitment.

What does it mean to live righteously? How do I accomplish this? Is it something I am capable of? Where do I begin?

What I have gotten myself into any way? How did I get here, to this point where these questions are resonating? This is getting personal.

A part of me wants to go watch TV, or roll over and go back to sleep. But, all of these questions. I am more than just a little curious. I am hungry.

Do we have any bread? I'm more than hungry, I'm famished.
