Seek the Kingdom of God

Jesus said in Luke 12:29 “And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you."
Okay, God says that He would give us everything we need, EVERYTHING, and we are not to worry!!!! So, all we have to do is to seek the Kingdom of God, how do we do that?

We recently took a class on the parables of Jesus, though with some background of Jewish history and traditions; the fact that I am married to a Jew, the class was eye-opening. Of course we know that Jesus is the GREATEST RABBI EVER LIVED, morever, He came as a Jew and lived as a Jew and taught as a Jew. All of Jesus' parables, without exception, were not original. They came from some previous rabbis, sages or the talmud (the Jewish oral law).

I want to share with you what I learned about "Seek the Kingdom of God".

Seeking the Kingdom of God is to go after God in everything we say and do, with "glorifying and pleasing God" in mind, knowing that He has full control over our lives. He is all powerful over everything, everyone and every circumstance. Seeking the Kingdom of God goes beyond seeking God, it is seeking His power, reign, rule, authority and dominion over our lives...that is we are to submit and surrender our everything to our ONE TRUE GOD, and acknowledge that we are NOTHING apart from Him, in complete humility.

As we submit to the King, we become more than conquerors and overcomers, and have been given all authority. So, what else do we have to worry about?
