Luke.12:29 Don't seek what you will eat or what you will drink; neither be anxious. 12:30 For the nations of the world seek after all of these things, but your Father knows that you need these things. 12:31 But seek God's Kingdom, and all these things will be added to you. 12:32 Don't be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.

Set before us is a narrow cramped road this road God set before us leading into his everlasting Kingdom. To be upon this road take all of our attention it not an easy way. The road is fraught with many problems and dangers, and few find it.

Revelation 3:8 "I know your works (behold, I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut), that you have a little power, and kept my word, and didn't deny my name.

What are we seeking? Some think they can seek others roads to success and give little or no attention to the narrow road that few are upon. Yes, they have been convinced by sight putting faith in religion, people, peer pressure, and the pleasure of this life pushing them to living a lie!

James 4:13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow let's go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit." 4:14 Whereas you don't know what your life will be like tomorrow. For what is your life? For you are a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away. 4:15 For you ought to say, "If the Lord wills, we will both live, and do this or that." 4:16 But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil. 4:17 To him therefore who knows to do good, and doesn't do it, to him it is sin.

What lie? That one does not have to seek the kingdom first that its a secondary thought they can do as the status quo, that is, what is accepted by false religion as the standard of seeking the kingdom. Yet, is that God's standard? Is he saying the road is easy and wide, after we seek our life first than we claim that life is the things God wanted us to do? Hence, we label those things God's things because we did them with the idea of helping others?

Matthew 11:12 From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.{or, plunder it.}

John 15:18 If the world hates you, you know that it has hated me before it hated you.

John 15:24 If I hadn't done among them the works which no one else did, they wouldn't have had sin. But now have they seen and also hated both me and my Father.

1Cor.4:7 For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn't receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it? 4:8 You are already filled. You have already become rich. You have come to reign without us. Yes, and I wish that you did reign, that we also might reign with you. 4:9 For, I think that God has displayed us, the apostles, last of all, like men sentenced to death. For we are made a spectacle to the world, both to angels and men. 4:10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You have honor, but we have dishonor. 4:11 Even to this present hour we hunger, thirst, are naked, are beaten, and have no certain dwelling place. 4:12 We toil, working with our own hands. When people curse us, we bless. Being persecuted, we endure. 4:13 Being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the dirt wiped off by all, even until now. 4:14 I don't write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

No! Seeking is not, not seeking, narrow is not wide and spacious, cramped is not easy. We have been told by the truth, Christ Jesus our truth what it takes to enter into the Kingdom of God. We are not born of this world, we are born of God, and our world is above in a Kingdom that cannot be shaken by the things of the flesh below. You see, faith is the road into life, without faith one cannot be on the road of life. Did you note? That our entire life, our food, or shelter, our clothing all things we posses on earth must also be by faith, and supplied too us from above?

Hebrews 10:22 let's draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

Hebrews 10:38 But the righteous will live by faith. If he shrinks back, my soul has no pleasure in him."{Habakkuk 2:3-4}

Hebrews 10:39 But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the saving of the soul.

Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen.

We are born again by faith, we were created new by faith, and we must live and walk in faith to be on the road into life. Christ was flatly rejected by this world, this world will not like what him and his Father has planned for this system of things. Christ would not be accepted by this world in the flesh anymore than he was two-thousands years ago. The rest is a polluted worship of what human reasoning think Christ was, and is?

James.4:1 Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don't they come from your pleasures that war in your members? 4:2 You lust, and don't have. You kill, covet, and can't obtain. You fight and make war. You don't have, because you don't ask.
4:3 You ask, and don't receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. 4:4 You adulterers and adulteresses, don't you know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

Let us remember to walk upon the road into life, one must listen to the Spirit that guilds every step and thought through Christ our head, it not a joke, a part time job, it must be conqueror, in faith, in perseverance, and in love for our Father, we must endure to the end of this course, our life in the flesh to be saved in the Spirit. God cannot lie, the flesh always lies and changes as the wind blows upon a wicked sea of humanity.

Isaiah 50:2 Why, when I came, was there no man? when I called, was there none to answer? Is my hand shortened at all, that it can't redeem? or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at my rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness: their fish stink, because there is no water, and die for thirst.

Isaiah 57:20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea; for it can't rest, and its waters cast up mire and dirt.

Christ calm the sea, he walked upon the sea, faith, not of ourselves, but by the power of God, trusting in his power, not ours, nothing will lack for those loving our Father, the lack is in us, not Jehovah God, but let us remember if we cannot be faithful in what is least? God supplying our daily needs, than what of the rest?

Isa.40:9 You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength. Lift it up. Don't be afraid. Say to the cities of Judah, "Behold, your God!" 40:10 Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. 40:11 He will feed his flock like a shepherd. He will gather the lambs in his arm, and carry them in his bosom. He will gently lead those who have their young.
40:12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 40:13 Who has directed the Spirit of Yahweh, or has taught him as his counselor?
