Seek first His kingdom

To "Seek God" in my words, means alot more than just watching and listening for God, and God's will. But to look for ways you can better serve Him, all the time. To be more like Jesus, how can you be more like Jesus? You try your hardest to stop that swearing. Try your hardest to stop treating others badly. You seek God.

How can we overcome our sin? I have been asked this question many times, and never quite knew how to answer it. If we know we have sinned and accept forgiveness from the Lord, there are times, when there is still shame there. Although we may know that God forgave and forgot all of it, It still sticks with you.
How can we overcome this?

By "Seeking" God. If we are busy trying to be more like Jesus and finding all sorts of ways to better serve our Lord, we will have no time to worry about our past! And whenever you have time to worry about it, remember to Seek First the Kingdom of God!


If we keep backsliding as we do, or realize that we seem to be weaker than usual when it comes to temptation itself, then we must be either looking in the wrong places, or looking from the wrong places.

It is in God alone where we find our needs met. We need to learn to seek Him always. If we do so, seeking from deep within our hearts and souls, we will find peace within Him. Temptation will still come, but in those times instead of dwelling on the fact you are being tempted, pull out your bible and read, It doesn't have to be a certain psalm or anything, just read. Sing praises to God. Or just literally run away from the temptation no matter how hard it is.
With God all things are possible!

The truth is, we cannot overcome our sin without Christ in our lives. We cannot overcome temptation without Christ Carrying us through life. The only way we can ever possibly have peace here in this lost place, also known as Earth, is in Christ alone. SEEK first His kingdom.

But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given unto you aswell. Matt 6:33
