I am a super proud daddy. My daughter, who is primary school age, by God’s grace will be doing her grade 4 violin exams this year. I’m told when you age to grade 4, you are halfway to being a professional.

We are not musical in any way, but I see what she does—daily 10-15 min practice. Confession: on Daddy’s Day with them, the timing of the routine in the house slips, but when we check the clock, we realise the mother of the house will be back soon. We all get our jobs done quickly!

The culture of the Kingdom is this: Matthew 6:33 AMP

[33] But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

The formula for everything being added is to aim for His kingdom and do things His way. Those need to come first before we can truly enjoy God’s definition of prosperity.

I believe all have a desire to see a change in one aspect of this world. What bothers you might be different from what bothers me, and that is the nature of the Kingdom of God. Every Kingdom Citizen doing their bit to shine a light. But we shine the light by doing things His way—living a life that pleases Him.

Why not take this weekend to think about ways you can be a light in your sphere? It could be checking on that neighbour or giving that friend a ring or even starting or supporting a charity that has been on your mind to something of God’s mercy to people.

Don’t discount your little efforts. Consistently aim for the Kingdom. Your light is needed.

“[33] But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.”

— Matthew 6:33 AMP
