Romans 8:15 & 16:

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children.

So apparently God is still dealing with me on this issue of being content as a child of God. I was worrying a bit ago with some decisions and choices, wondering what I should do.

One of my favorite verses came to mind, and it happens to be R.G. LeTourneau's life verse: "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

The command to "seek" is not a directive for the future, nor a reflection on the past, though I certainly hope we did seek God in the past, or intend to do so in the future.

The sentence simply says seek God now.

Kinda funny, how we can get so wrapped up in the future, worrying over things we can't change, wondering where on Earth to go and what to do with this or that... when God has us by the shoulder, pointing exactly where we should be headed right now.

Seek the kingdom of God.

That is indescribably more practical than it sounds.
