When Jesus tells us to seek first the kingdom of God, the very word seek implies a strong-minded pursuit. J. B. Phillips paraphrases the idea with set your heart on. The Amplified Bible says, Aim at and strive after. The Greek text of Matthews Gospel states a continual command: Keep on continually seeking. . . . The thought is determination, which I define as deciding to hang tough, regardless....Hang tough! Do it when it comes naturally and when it is hard to come by. Do it when youre up, do it when youre down. Do it when you feel like it, do it when you dont feel like it. Do it when its hot, do it when its cold. Keep on doing it. Dont give up. That is persistence and determination. Staying at it. Hanging tough with dogged discipline. When you get whipped or when you win, the secret is staying at it.-Chuck Swindoll (Just what I needed for a Monday morning!)
