Matthew
13:11 And he answered them, "To you
it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it
has not been given.
Making decisions is never
easy, especially when the decisions involve others. We look at all the facts as
we understand them, in faith see a desirable outcome of the decision and then
we implement that decision. Yet when the decision is made and we get to where
we wanted to be we find that this is the last place we could ever be content.
Something is missing. So we start the process all over again and then find we
return to the place we started from. Still finding something is missing.
What is missing is not the
place where stay, or what we have or even our family, it is actually something
we cannot actually describe, it is that deep desire for meaning. We cannot find
this within the world, we cannot find it in others, we
are only able to find it through seeking. Jesus describes the missing component
in our lives as the ‘Kingdom
of God’ this is the
life lived in and through Kingdom principles. These principles are contrary to
those of the world and so are not dependant upon the world and world meaning,
but rather a sense of purpose from within us. For Jesus tells us that the Kingdom
dwells within us, search the world and you will never find it, for you find it
only in the hearts of those who desire and seek it.
Be encouraged today to be
wise in your decisions.
David
Point to ponder: The Kingdom
of God is within you.
