Matthew 6:33 Seek Ye First The Kingdom Of God

Matthew 6:33 (KJV)  But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

It is the will of God that we enjoy the blessing of a vibrant, worshipful, God-glorifying life of closeness and favour with God in the everyday activities of life.

Our daily struggle as depraved earthlings are often between two states. When we have plenty, we want more. When we are poor, we worry non-stop. Often overwhelmed by temporal or material concerns, we become as it were, incapacitated, incapable of discerning the weightier matters concerning our souls! 

Our Lord Jesus addresses the weariness of worrying when there is not enough food on the table for each meal, what clothes we wear. “Take no thought” is the word “be distracted”, “to be drawn in different directions.” Worry pulls us apart from resting on God’s provision.

Jesus gave the antidote to overcome this world’s cares when He advised, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Only a faith that leads to obedience to God’s will enable a man to allay his fears and anxieties trusting in the Lord. Amen.
