The Seeking Life
by Gloria Copeland
There’s a lot of emphasis these days on various kinds of lifestyles. People talk about healthy lifestyles and unhealthy lifestyles. They talk about urban, suburban and rural lifestyles. There was even a television show some years ago called "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous."
Although those things are fine, I suppose, to me there’s really only one lifestyle worth living: the lifestyle God describes in His Word.
I call that lifestyle 'The Seeking Life,' because Jesus told us how to tap in to it by giving us these instructions:
"Do not worry and be anxious saying, What are we going to have to eat? or, What are we going to have to drink? or, What are we going to have to wear? For the Gentiles (heathen) wish for and crave and diligently seek all these things, and your heavenly Father knows well that you need them all. But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given to you besides" (Matthew 6:31-33, "The Amplified Bible").
