Which Kingdom to Seek

Dear Lord please be with us this day and may the Holy Spirit prevent us from straying off of the paths that would lead to Your Kingdom where positive virtues abound. Please direct our thoughts to avenues of humble love, wisdom, and understanding. Please show us how to sacrifice our pride filled egotistical, opinionated, and lust filled world, and seek the simple joys of Your Kingdom. Please give us the strength necessary to keep from being led into the temptation to seek the kingdom of lust and false satisfaction where peace and joy always seem to be just one material wish away. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Quotation:*
It is the oldest temptation in the world, and the most fruitful parent of sins, and the most dangerous temptation- in that it contains so much truth- to regard self rather than God as the center in which spiritual effort must originate. --R.H. Benson

KJV*
2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.
2Pe 3:18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

2Ti 4:18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
