“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭KJV‬‬. In this passage, Jesus is addressing the many concerns people have about the material needs of life. Things like food, shelter, and clothing. These things are very real, because they are necessary to our human existence. But then He reminds us, that the needs of the soul are far more important than the body. So we should seek first what our soul needs. And then He gives this great promise! He tells us that as we SEEK FIRST His kingdom and His righteousness, then these other things will be provided for us! This is how all of God’s children are called to live! Our number one priority should always be to seek God and the things pertaining to our soul. And when we refuse to do this, it is in His mercy to us, that He allows difficult things, to wake us up and bring our attention back to Him. So we must ask ourselves, “What am I seeking first?” And then, be prepared to change whatever is necessary, so we can seek Jesus Christ first.
