Why "For His Kingdom"

Hello and welcome to my first blog.

I wanted to have a biblical title for my blog and with that being said there are many directions one could take. A couple of particular verses that kept coming to mind was Matthew 6:19 and Matthew 6:33

vs 19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

vs 33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."


There are many things, reasons or people that some might live for. Their motivations and aspirations may not always be so obvious but they are there and they eventually come out in their actions. Some people hide them and some people make sure everybody knows what they are. Whether you are one who likes to “fly under the radar” or one “who shouts it from the roof top” what are you living for? Now I am not just speaking to those who are not Christians, but to the Christian. So Christian, what are you living for? You may say, “Yea, Yea, I know I am living for the kingdom of God” but honestly do our actions reflect that? I know mine don't always. We may not even realize that in reality when we truly search our hearts, we will find that we are not living for the kingdom of God. We must be like David the psalmist who says:

“Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!”

Psalm 139:23,29
