Sat.’s Devo - Seeking His Kingdom First

Read Jer. 48:1-49:22; 2 Tim. 4:1-22; Ps. 95:1-96:13; Pr. 26:9-12 Jeremiah continues to prophecy judgment and doom on the children of Moab and Ammon. Moab and Ammon were Lots sons who were born out of Lots incest with his own daughters. They have become enemies of God so they were to be displaced and killed. The hope is at the end of chapter 48 when God promises to bring them back in the latter days. In Timothy we are admonish to be present in and out of season. To me that means to be ready on the spur of the moment, not just when you are expecting it. It is easy to be ready at church but sometimes God has divine appointments for you in the line at Walmart or with your waiter at the restaurant. We are to always be ready to testify of the hope that is in us. Verse 8 says that there is a crown of righteousness waiting for those who love his appearing. If we are longing to see Jesus more than we are to live out our lives then we are seeking His kingdom more than this earthly kingdom. God will reward that kind of heart. Lord, You are great, and greatly to be praised!
