Seek First the Kingdom - Staying focused on the Gospel!

in christian-trail •  7 years ago  (edited)

My friends,

Oftentimes, in the hustle and bustle in the cryptorealm, we are apt to lost focus of the gospel, the one which saves souls unto eternity. Perhaps, we may concern ourselves with investments, trading and the accumulation of wealth. Maybe our intentions are good. Maybe we want to be free from the yoke of bondage that is our day jobs that we may focus on Kingdom work.

However noble such intentions may seem, we need to be mindful that the LORD has ordained a time and place for all things that should come to pass. He is the absolute sovereign which declares the end from the beginning after all. I think sometimes we are prone to forget just how involved God is in every step of our lives. Indeed, He has numbered the very hairs on our head.

Perhaps, you trade crypto as well and have beat yourself up over the decisions you have made. Maybe, you had lost money on an investment. I want to tell you to not worry. Again, God is sovereign. Maybe you bought a coin right before a dip. Been there. Done that and, no, I don't even have a t-shirt. It happens.

Did you know that the Almighty God has already decreed every single trade decision we will ever make in our life? Yes, the good, the not so good, and even the bad. I periodically pray that the LORD would keep me humble and I encourage you to do the same. We may not necessarily like it when He answers said prayer but, nevertheless, it is for the best. He must increase but I must decrease. Remember, the attitude of John the Baptist who said he was unfit to unstrap the sandals of His LORD.

How do we prevent feeling the pain from making bad trade decisions? It's quite simple, really. Understand that God, the LORD Jesus, is IN CONTROL of ALL THINGS. Humble yourself before Him. It doesn't necessarily mean you're going to get your money back but know this.

"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" Romans 8:28 KJV

Maybe, I won't always make optimal trades. That's ok because I know, with certainty, that the LORD will provide as He has with the blood of His Son for His chosen. It's not something left to chance. It is a absolute certainty for His people. I praise Him for granting the grace that any should understand this profound truth. His grace is indeed sufficient.

Anything else we receive in this life is truly a bonus. If the grace of God were a cryptocurrency, in the sight of the world it may not seem worth much but to His saints we know that it is going to the moon and above. Let us keep our eyes on the LORD Jesus and may He come quickly! AMEN

Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:19-34 KJV
