Seeking the Kingdom of God is to seek God’s glory, God’s gain and God’s goals - often contrary to what we feel like doing or the way the world does it. (Warfare Witness, Stanley Gale)

This quote may seem obvious. I know it intellectually. But, as I read it this morning, it pierced my heart. Of course I want to seek God’s kingdom, but do my thoughts, actions and words seek God’s glory, gain & goals? Or, are they just what I feel like doing, thinking or saying?

Do you consciously seek God’s kingdom by striving to achieve God’s glory, God’s goals and God’s gain?

Do you seek God’s kingdom as you plan your next homeschool year?

Do you seek God’s goals (or yours) as you choose this summer’s activities?

Do you seek God’s gain as you instill values in your children?

Do you seek God’s glory as you scrapbook, bake or garden?

God’s leaders will seek God’s kingdom as a priority in each & every area of their lives.
