There is only one thing that God requires of us. You can say it a lot of different ways – but it is really just one thing.
Set your heart to seek the LORD. (The idea of “set your heart” has to do with “firmly establishing” your heart; This is the word used to describe how God has firmly established the heavens and the earth). The point here is that this must be your fixed and determined purpose.
This is not something that you can “try” for a few weeks to see if it works. It must be your settled conviction – the one thing that drives you in everything else –

Jesus said, “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.”
Moses said, “Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength.”
Paul said, “One thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”
John said, “And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us.”
