Pensamento:
Buscar — perseguir sem desistir —o senhorio de Deus sobre a sua vida e a santidade que ele exige na sua vida diária. As outras coisas que perseguimos são temporárias. Somente Deus e Seu Reino restam. No processo de perseguir o reino de Deus e Sua justiça, você descobrirá que o Deus que lhe dá o Reino e a justiça, também lhe abençoará com as coisas desta vida que você precisa.
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Jesus is speaking in his Sermon on the Mount. He wants us not to worry about all the stuff we often pursue. So, let's seek (pursue relentlessly) God's Lordship over our lives and his righteousness, which reflects his holy character in our daily dealings. Everything else we pursue is temporary. Only God and his Kingdom remain. As we pursue God's Kingdom and his righteousness, Jesus promises that the one who gives us his Kingdom and his righteousness will also bless us with what we need in this life, as well!
Oração:
Santo Senhor, somente em Ti acho aquilo que satisfaz os desejos da minha alma. As coisas que capturam meus olhos se tornam entediantes depois de pouco tempo. As coisas artificiais que tenho perseguido, todos os meus anseios viciosos, deixaram-me vazio e escravizado. Acho esperança e ajuda somente no Senhor. Por favor, fique perto de mim para me amar, corrigir, disciplinar, guiar e moldar para a Sua glória. Em nome de Jesus eu oro. amém.

My Prayer...
Holy Lord, only in you do I find what satisfies my soul's deepest desires. The things that have captured my eye are boring after only a short while. The artificial things I have pursued, all of my addictive interests, have left me empty, enslaved, and in debt. I find hope and help only in you alone. I join with the psalmist, David, and confess:
In God alone my soul finds rest; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken. (Psalm 62:1-2)
I rest my life in you alone, O Lord. I seek first your Kingdom. All my other pursuits and striving are a mere chasing after the wind. So, I draw near to you so you can correct, discipline, lead, and mold me into your faithful servant. In Jesus' name, I pray and confess. Amen.
