<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As we approach the greatest of all Christian celebrations, the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, let us resolve that our lives will reflect the truth of His resurrection. So, how will we do this?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; First, our main devotion must be to the eternal purposes of God, not the temporary issues of this life. The key word here is “main.” While we are still in this life, we do have responsibilities in it, but the temporary issues of this life should never eclipse our devotion to the Lord and seeking His kingdom first. A basic teaching of the Lord is that we must keep His kingdom first for Him to add the things we need in this life to us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. So, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for itself” (Matthew 6:33-34).</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; How well are we obeying this? Is this not a direct reflection of how much we believe Him? Before we spend too much time praying for our physical needs, how much better would we be if we spent as much time praying for our spiritual needs? Will it do us any good to ask Him for the physical and temporary needs if we are not complying with the simple and clear conditions He gave us for receiving them—to seek His kingdom first?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; As the shaking in the world continues, obeying this one truth—to keep seeking His kingdom first—will have the greatest impact on how we live in the present and the future. The times will increasingly reveal how much we believe by how much we have obeyed. As we’re exhorted in Hebrews 3:8,&nbsp;<strong>"Today, if you hear His voice, do not harden your hearts.” &nbsp;</strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp;</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Yesterday no longer exists and tomorrow does not yet exist.</div>
