CENTER ON THE KINGDOM

At the center of a centered life is God and God’s way—the kingdom of God. This is why Jesus said, “But strive first for the kingdom of God” (Matthew 6:33). In speaking of the kingdom, Jesus wants his followers to live now as if we find ourselves in a society in which the will of God is already established. To make the kingdom central is to live by faith.

The insight for you and me today is that God’s work in this world is bigger than what God is doing in you and me. If at the center of the centered life is God’s kingdom, then we can devote ourselves to God only by devoting ourselves to God’s people and to bringing about what God wants for our world. Giving ourselves up for what God is doing in this world is the only way to discover ourselves in the center of God’s world and the only way of finding our way to the centered life.
