a) His kingdom first
Jesus answered the problem of our worry-filled lives by asking us to move from the ‘many things’ to the ‘one necessary thing.’ ‘Focus’ or ‘Priority’ is the key for spiritual recreation for occupied and preoccupied hearts and minds. Jesus commands us to put His Kingdom first above everything. Jesus' life was a life of obedience. He was always listening to the Father with single-minded obedience, always attentive to his voice, always alert for his directions. Obedient is the core value in shifting our paradigm from worry-filled lives to God-fearing lives. Obedient means a total, fearless listening to our Heavenly Father. The Holy Spirit enables us to have truthful relationship with God and man. The Holy Spirit will lead us to have the same relationship that Jesus has with the Father. When the kingdom of God becomes the centrality of our lives we are partakers of the divine life. The Holy Spirit will transform us into Christ-like lives and we will have obedient relationship with the father. Obedient required attentive listening. A spiritual discipline of is necessary in order to shift slowly from an absurd to an obedient life, from a life filled with deafening worries to a life where we began to listen to the Holy Spirit and follow his guidance. As an act of obedient we begun to trust in God and the Spirit of God will occupied our hearts and minds for His kingdom.
