Matt 6:33

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" Matt 6:33

Jesus said: "Seek first the kingdom of God." That was to come first; it was to come ahead of everything else... We say, we do not want to seek the kingdom of God first. We have a good many things that must be attended to before we seek the kingdom of God... The whole living world is seeking for something.... Then why not seek for the best things?

If people will so seek for temporal things, doesn't it serve to show that you do not believe that God is real; or else you would first seek the kingdom of God, and find it before any of these other things?

Instead of worrying about what we cannot do, we need to focus on what God can do. To "seek first his kingdom and his righteousness" means to "give him first place in your life." It means to turn to God first for help, to fill your thoughts with his desires, to take his character for your pattern, and to serve and obey him in everything.

What is really important to you? People, objects, goals, and other desires all compete for priority. Any of these can quickly bump God out of first place if you don't actively choose to give him first place in every area of your life. Hallelujah, Amen and Amen.
