What is the Kingdom of God?
Simply this: those for whom God is King.
God is my King, but how is God my King? By my choosing to obey Him and trust Him completely, willingly admitting my failures and my inability to do anything without Him. All of this motivated out of love for my King. Seek first the Kingdom of God, and all this will be added unto you. There is one thing that matters. One entity in the universe who matters. Jesus. The Triune God. Father, Son and Spirit. Seek the love of God above all others and everything else will fall into place, even if that place is in the center of a storm, you will ride it out like calm waters, walking like on dry ground.
This is the Kingdom of God: to see clearly the flow of the universe, and be content because God is all satisfying. Sincerely all satisfying, and not just ethereally, metaphorically or philosophically, but actually and experientially. Here the temptation of pride is constantly struck down by one's own weaknesses which are blessed thorns which keep one absolutely reliant on God.
The Kingdom of God is infinitely wealthy, each member has a limitless credit card with all payments due paid by the King Himself. Need God, and all your need will be met.
