MAY 27 - START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION  Matthew 6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. SEEK, KINGDOM, RIGHTEOUSNESS Those who follow Christ are urged to seek – above all else – God’s kingdom and His righteousness. The verb “seek” means being continually absorbed in a search for something or making a long and consistent effort to obtain something (Matthew 13:45). God’s kingdom and righteousness are not passive matters; they are things we must actively pursue. Christ refers to two objects, or focuses, of our seeking: 1. “His kingdom” (His power and authority overall, His purposes and way of life both on earth and into eternity) – we must desperately desire for God’s authority and power to be evident in our lives and in our Christian gatherings. Our own desires should never get in the way of what God wants to do in our individual lives and our churches. We must pray that God’s kingdom will operate in the mighty power of the Holy Spirit to save people from sin, to destroy demonic power, to heal the sick and to bring honor to the Lord Jesus in every way. 2. “His righteousness” (His standards of truth, right and goodness) -through the power of the Holy Spirit, we must make every effort to obey Christ’s commands, show Christ’s standards of truth and right, avoid the ungodly practices of the world and show Christ’s love toward everyone (Philippians 2:12-13).
