Seek First the Kingdom

Seek first the Kingdom of Heaven. That is the verse I keep coming back to.

I keep trying to do things backward, thinking I need to figure out work before focusing on ministry. I need to focus on the Kingdom first and trust God with the rest.

Technology, at the end of the day, can be a tool for Kingdom work. We live in a day and age when AI and automation can handle many of the day to day hassles. In theory, that can free us to focus on Kingdom work. That should be my relationship with AI and automation.

For example, the Barbosa Rice website could be based on heartfelt journal entries that ChatGPT helps me edit. AI and automation could handle the posting and help manage the website, which would free me to focus on the message. From there, AI could create social posts, all from what I write in my journal.

My part in that process would be writing and responding to messages. Kingdom work.

I am trying to do the same with WIND’s work. As more of the routine work is automated, I can spend more time thinking about the messages I want to share. The seeds I want to plant. Kingdom work.
