FIRST GOAL: SEEKING GOD’S KINGDOM



                I opened my facebook account just for a while to use the internet. My intention was simply print my curriculum vitae and resignation letter. I need to submit it to HR department because I was told by them they don’t have the documents yet. It was a blessing in disguise because that’s the reason why my mobile plan was approved a couple of days after I applied for it.
                When I opened it, I’m seeing lots of updates coming from my different friends in FB. Some of them just bought a latest gadget- ipod and tablet (my dream gadgets! Ooooh!), some of them are about to take their masteral or doctorate degree. Some are basically upgrading their knowledge by taking vocational courses so they can be more competent in their work. My first reaction was “wow! Buti pa sila!” But I was reminded that those things I am dreaming will fulfill by God according to His plan and timeframe. Maybe it hasn’t come yet. But I know He will, someday.
                I just smiled in front of the computer and told myself, “I will go back to basics first and that is seeking God”. I was at peace and I easily let go of those envious feelings in my heart. I didn’t bother that I still didn’t achieve my dreams yet. If that is what God wants for me, then He will be the one who will fulfill it for me. So why do I need to bother? The most important for me right now is my relationship with Him. I had a lot of concerns to think every day but I didn’t worry because He will provide what I need. I am supposed to apply for another job but then I changed my mind. I am not yet ready. Besides, I still need to process my clearance from my last employer just to make sure everything was settled before having a new job.
                So when I am tempted to wander my mind in those materials things I want to accumulate, God is reminding me about the verse in Matthew 6:33, “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you”.
