Make the kingdom of God your number one priority

Make the kingdom of God your number one priority.

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

The kingdom of God is where God reigns. Those of us that have Christ reigning in our lives have been translated into the kingdom of His dear Son.

He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, (Colossians 1:13)

God wants to establish His kingdom on earth. Adam and Eve failed. Israel failed.

And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel." (Exodus 19:6)

But God continues to rule over the nations and excercise His sovereignty from His throne.

For the kingdom is the LORD's, And He rules over the nations.
(Psalms 22:28)

The LORD has established His throne in heaven, And His kingdom rules over all.
(Psalms 103:19)

They shall speak of the glory of Your kingdom, And talk of Your power, To make known to the sons of men His mighty acts, And the glorious majesty of His kingdom. Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And Your dominion endures throughout all generations.
(Psalms 145:11-13)

But there is a future day when God will establish His throne (the throne of David) on this earth.

And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever.
(Daniel 2:44)

The good news is that God is in control.

How great are His signs, And how mighty His wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And His dominion is from generation to generation. . . . And at the end of the time I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me; and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever: For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom is from generation to generation. All the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing; He does according to His will in the army of heaven And among the inhabitants of the earth. No one can restrain His hand Or say to Him, "What have You done?"
(Daniel 4:3, 34-35)
