But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. – Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
God is the only One who can satisfy our needs. He created all those things that we need or want. In Psalm 24:1 the Word of God says, “ The earth is the Lord’s and all its fullness, the world and those who dwell therein”.
The first part of our reference scripture says: “Seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness”. This simply means we should seek the interest and agenda of God above all else, it means we should put Him first in everything we do and desire Him above everything else.
Everything belongs to Him and making Him your number One priority means you automatically have everything that you need. (Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord, as His divine power has given us all things pertain to life and godliness, through Him who called us by glory and virtue – 2 Peter 1:2-3).
From today, let your desire be for God and the things of the Kingdom.
PRAYER: Thank you Lord for your word to me today. Please help me to take my eyes off every idol and care of this life that distracts me from focusing on You and your kingdom. Please give me the grace to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness. In Jesus name. Amen.
