searching

Does it seem like we spend most of our life searching?

Searching for a mate....searching for a career.....searching for a place......searching for hope.....searching for answers....

We are wired that way.  We want answers and we want them now.  Maybe, just maybe the solution is not found in the answer but in the journey.

^33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. (Mt 6:33., NIV)

The search is not about finding the answer, but finding the Person. 

It's so hard as a person to not be about building my kingdom and my righteousness.  It's hard as a person to not be all about me. 

Reality is it's never been about me, and it's never been about you.  That's where we mess up.  It's never been about us.  This life, this journey, and this adventure is all about the master plan that God has created and invited us to be involved.  You are part of the plan, I am part of the plan, and God invited us to go on this journey with Him.

The catch is to go on this journey we have to prioritize and seek Him first.  Life is all about prioritizing.  What is the most important thing?

Do remember this?  From the movie City Slickers?  Billy Crystal is searching for the meaning of life, "Curly" tells him the answer to the meaning of life is to find that "one thing", so the question is "What's the one thing"?

We try to seek that one thing our entire lives.  To some its a spouse, some a career, some its kids, some its money, some its fame....

None of that is bad, but its about prioritizing it.  Jesus answered that question for us.  He tells us to see Him first.  Seek His kingdom, His righteousness, and everything else will follow.

And so the search continues....

The search of trying to Keep Him first.
