Let's Pursue The Greater Blessing In Life!

We worry about the wrong things in Life don't we? =)

We tend to worry about the clothes we wear, the hairstyle we have, the money we earn, the things we need to buy, the career we must take etc etc...

Please don't get me wrong, these are things we need to think about cos they are legitimate things we Singaporeans discussed about almost everyday.

But the Bible teaches us something more profound. The Bible considers all these things that we tend to pursue "The lesser Blessings" and shows us the "Greater Blessings" in life.

In Matthew 6:33, the Bible says "But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

When the Lord Jesus says this, He was referring to the fact that we worry about the clothes we wear and the food we eat which are of course important but not cosidered as the most important things to pursue in life.

Rather, the Lord wants us to focus on the greater blessings which is to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and ALL THESE OTHER THINGS will be added/Given on top of these to us.

As we seek the to do God's will in our lives, the Lord will certainly add the rest of the things that we desire to our lives.

So let's not worry about the things that are of lesser importance but know that as we look to God and walk with Him, He will bless us not just with peace and joy but also all these other things that comes with it.

Our Lord is Good and will supply all our needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus!
