31 Therefore do not worry or be anxious (perpetually uneasy, distracted), saying, ‘What are we going to eat?’ or ‘What are we going to drink?’ or ‘What are we going to wear?’ 32 For the [pagan] Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; [but do not worry,] for your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.
Matthew 6 : 31- 33
Everything you are dreaming about in life is an addition; everything you think you are lacking is an addition. Imagine you can allow the devil to influence you into worrying about something that is just an addition, and not foundational. Additions are like the icing on the cake; they are not the real cake. The real cake is your ability to know that you should avail yourself first to God because He is The Only One Who isn’t an addition; He is The Main God.
This world is full of issues, but there is one issue that people have, which is always looking to God only when they have issues. You only avail yourself to God when there is something which isn’t going well in your life. This means, you are not seeking God, but you are using God: it becomes a transactional relationship, not a transformation relationship. You start searching for God and solutions outside of yourself, yet everything you are looking for dwells within you: everything that you want to become dwells within you. But do you know where that is? It is on the other side of your fears, doubts, and worries. So, even if you are scared when starting, do it scared anyway. There is nothing in this life that you will be confident enough to do at first: you will be hesitant; you will fight doubtful thoughts. But, if you take that leap of faith and do it anyway, then there is that manifestation that becomes an answer not just to you, but to everyone God has aligned to your journey of purpose. When you are seeking God’s Kingdom first, you are abiding to His Principles. His Kingdom is His Principles: His Righteousness is His Nature. Everything that God does is Right; even if you may not see it as so, it is Right. Righteousness is being right in motion; it is righteousness on the move. Righteousness isn’t taught to us, but it is already imprinted in our consciousness.
If you want to see change in your life, you are supposed to ask yourself, “Am I the container that The Content is Proud to dwell in?” Because when God is inside, every desire aligns itself to what He has designed for you to get, to enjoy, to reflect, and to represent. The problem is we want to look good as containers when the content is zero. Then, we have narrowed our own existence to succeed with just how we look and how we think. But who do we know?
27 The sheep that are My own hear My voice and listen to Me; I know them, and they follow Me.
John 10 : 27
If you have not grown to the extent where your voice is not recognizable to Jesus, it means it is your ears which cannot first recognize Jesus’s Voice. We need Him more than He needs us. I want to encourage you with these short words of wisdom. Everytime you wake up in the morning, ask yourself, “Why am I here?”, before asking yourself “Do I have rent? Do I have fuel? Do I have money for my bills?” Because, in the morning, whatever comes first in your mind is your idol; it is what you have pledged allegiance to. If it is worry, fear, or doubt, then you have connected yourself to them. But everytime you wake up and you don’t wake up with the energy of thanksgiving, worship, and praise, then guess what? Whatever worries you first in the morning becomes the god you are going to worship for the whole day. Solutions are available, but they should lead to the Solution of God. You should never look for solutions to a problem elsewhere except in God because He is The Solution of everything.
1 The earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness of it, The world, and those who dwell in it.
Psalms 24 : 1
God is in charge; everything belongs to Him. The problem is, does God trust you enough to share responsibility of what He has created with you? Can He look down from Heaven within your inner self and say, “Here is my servant, son, or daughter whom I am Pleased to dwell in?” That is the most powerful thing you can hear in this world. It is when you know that the Divine is proud of you; when you know that God sees you as a Noah and an Enoch of this generation.
