Scripture:
Matthew 6:33 - "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." (NKJV)
Devotional:
Every road trip has a destination. You don' pack your bags, fill your tank, and start the engine just to drive in circles, you're aiming for somewhere worth reaching. In the same way, every human heart is on a journey toward something.
Some search for fulfillment in success, others in relationships, comfort, or pleasure. But the truth is, every man's deepest need is the Kingdom of God, because only there do we find perfect love, peace, and purpose.
Jesus said the Kingdom is worth selling everything to obtain (Matthew 13:44-46). That means it's not just a scenic stop along life's highway, it's the final destination.
Like any road trip, the journey of life can be long and challenging. You may face "traffic" (delays and disappointments. There may be "detours" (temptations and distractions, and sometimes your "vehicle" (your faith), will need refueling.
The great news is that the Kingdom Journey is well worth it for every believer of Jesus Christ.
When we (believers) accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are giving the free gift of salvation and Kingdom Citizenship.
However, if you are going to reap the authority and benefits of a Kingdom Citizen, it will require a commitment to Kingdom Culture and a Lifestyle Change. Therein lies our need to seek the kingdom every day, 365 days a year.
Over the next 14 days this Kingdom Roadmap Series will be packed with the wisdom and knowledge of God's word to help us acquire what we need mentally, physically and spiritually in order to move forward daily to complete our life journey of Kingdom living.
Kingdom Roadmap Direction
Today, let's focuses on three important areas that will help you to start and continue your Kingdom Journey successfully.
1. Check Your Navigation — Make sure that your heart is pointed toward the Kingdom first, to avoid having your journey to drift toward lesser destinations, trust in the Lord for direction. (Proverbs 3:5–6)
2. Refuel Daily — Fill up with God’s Word and prayer daily to avoid the possibility of running empty. (Psalm 119:105)
3. Travel in Community — If at all possible, don’t drive this road alone. Stay connected with fellow travelers in the faith. (Hebrews 10:24–25)
Prayer
Father, I thank You for choosing me as a Kingdom Citizen, and I thank you for our savior and king Jesus Christ. Keep my heart set on the road that leads to You. Remove the distractions and wrong turns that pull me off course. Teach me to seek You first, above all else, and to trust that You will supply every need along the way. Strengthen me when I grow weary, and remind me that in Your Kingdom, there is victory and liberty. Give me the desire and will to seek Your Kingdom daily and prepare me to share the Kingdom with others as I seek to do your will during my journey as a Kingdom Citizen.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
