Scriptural references for: Seek ye first the Kingdom of HeavenVerbatim references: None Enthusiasm comes by looking forward to the things of the
future and discouragement comes by looking backwards at the failures of the
past. Little children have no past filled with failures to look
back upon, so they look forward to things to come and they are enthusiastic. Jesus said, " Unless you become
like a little child you can in no wise enter the Kingdom
of God." The Kingdom of Heaven
does not exist in your past, but does exist in your future. Seek ye first the Kingdom
of Heaven and God shall add to you
all things of the Spirit, including zeal and enthusiasm. Seeking the Kingdom
of Heaven requires you to look
forward to things to come because that is where the Kingdom exists. Pride comes by looking at past successes, discouragement by
looking at past failures, but Godliness and zeal by looking at things to come.
