Day 231 Bible Reading: Esther 4-7, 1 Corinthians 11:17-34, Psalm 36:1-12 and Proverbs 21:21-22
What are you pursuing in your life? Does your pursuit lead you to a fulfilling life with prosperity and honour? Many are taught and educated to chase a better experience, to have better clothes and food and living lifestyle. Living in this world of misery, we will inevitably encounter many difficulties. One of the most practical problems is the material needs, including eating, drinking, wearing, and the use of money. People are striving in, and people get stress out. People are seeking natural materials needs. Here the proverb encourages us to pursue righteousness and love. We pursue justice and love first; it means we explore first his Kingdom (God is love) and His Holiness, the Lord will add all things to us we need.
"Whoever pursues righteousness and kindness will find life, righteousness, and honor." - Proverbs 21:21 (English Standard Version)
"Father, help me to pursue your Kingdom and righteousness and stay in your Kingdom. Help to be like Jesus, Jesus does not have a list of Kingdom first, prosperity second, family third and health fourth. Jesus does not have such a priority list. Give me a heart that desires to pursue your Kingdom and in your Kingdom. In Jesus name, Amen."
