It’s a natural part of who we are as humans. We get easily distracted and consumed by the everyday questions of life. Where are we going to eat? Does this clothing fit our style? Are we financially ready for what’s next? What does our future hold?

Once we begin to follow Jesus, those questions become secondary. With Jesus as our Savior on earth, God becomes our Father in heaven. Knowing that our perfectly good Father will provide our daily necessities, we are freed to seek his kingdom first.

If we primarily pursue God’s righteous standards, then we will confidently enjoy his gracious provision. Ironically, those who are more mindful of heaven become more impactful on earth - an impact that bears the distinctive marks of God’s authority and our obedience.
