Good stuff!
Where your treasure is, there will be your heart also. - Jesus
Jesus also said that the Kingdom of heaven (Jewish way of saying Kingdom of God) was like finding a a buried treasure in a field. So you go and sell all you have so you can purchase the field.
Is God our treasure? Or do we chase after the things of this world?

The question is that, since you were introduced to GOD, and his Dear Son, our Lord Jesus Christ for his name sake, What would you do first for his kingdom?
I would take his yoke upon myself and really learn of the things concerning his kingdom, which means to me of repentance.

And yes! GOD is our treasure, He/Jesus is also our! Shepherd

I'm with you. Jesus preached the message of repentance and reconciliation.
We are present members in the Kingdom of God, and we have an opportunity to live into that life. When I read the word repentance, it means we are seeking a better way to live. We give up our old ways and pick up Gods ways. We study Jesus not because we think we will find salvation in the biblical texts, but rather we want to know our savior enough to be like him, and salvation. Is the result of knowing Him.

Amen. And that comes from a man who suffered greatly, but continued the race.
Very good stuff guys but I like to eat so I didn't even really pay attention to the part about the fasting. I can't go without food. Otherwise I look and act like this.

God knows our needs and those who are His by seeking His kingdom, which can also mean knowing His will for our life. We should never want for nothing as God knows how to give us His very best in His provision for us. Never look for that of tomorrow as tomorrow may never come, but seek all you can within your walk with the Lord within the day you are in and know that you are bringing glory and honor to His name in all you do and all you speak.
