The Kingdom of God Not the Kingdom of a Job

The Bible does not say seek ye first the kingdom of a job in self-righteousness and all these 
things will be added unto you but it does say" seek ye first the kingdom of God and all these 
things will be added to you." Many people get so wrapped up in a job, titles, and useless 
activities so much that that they  forget about God. Others may get wrapped up in selfish 
desires that they live for the kingdom of self and not the kingdom of God. They get the 
things and are never happy because they are not tapping into the source. They drag or 
attempt to drag everyone down to the dumps who are kingdom-minded or making steps 
toward because they want to keep the stuff for themselves. A particular job may be for a 
season and you may have to leave at a later date for a reason, so don't get so wrapped up 
in it that your time with God, family, friends, and self is neglected. There must be a happy 
medium. God is first. He is the only one who'll treat you with worth!

 

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added 
to you." Matthew 6:33
