Doing It All

“Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

Matthew 6:33 ESV

For years, we have been told we can have it all, be it all, and do it all. But, the fact is that the pursuit of having and doing it all has left many women disappointed, exhausted, and stressed.

In our disillusionment, we can even begin to think there is no possible way we can manage a strong Christian walk with everything else we have to do. The truth is, you can have it all, and you can do it all—but we need to discover what God’s definition of the “all” is first.

It doesn’t mean we can have anything we want, or that we can have everything simultaneously. What it does mean is that what we have should be the result of seeking first the kingdom of God—and then Him adding to us.

When it’s God who adds the “all” rather than us trying to strive for it on our own, we don’t have to be stressed, overworked, or anxious about trying to keep something we cannot obtain on our own anyway. If we simply continue to put God first, He adds it to our life according to His perfect will and His perfect timing.

Lord, I’m thankful that Your “all” is what I really want—and that You make it possible for me to receive it.
