Seek First the Kingdom

from Be Thou My Vision Hosted by livestreamf

Drawing on the prophet Haggai and Jesus' call to 'seek first the kingdom,' this homily contrasts attempts to put God last—'once I get my life in order'—with the call to rebuild the house of the Lord and the heart now. Father Jon warns that without God at the center nothing truly satisfies, and urges daily prayer and thanksgiving as the foundation of life. Giving God our whole selves leads to deeper provision and peace. In the context of receiving Christ in the Eucharist, the episode invites listeners to make faith the priority so everything else falls into place.
