Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you.
This scripture should be in the memory of every Christian all the time, everywhere. It is Jesus speaking and is His promise to all that God will take good care of them, He is giving the format for God’s plan and program for man.
Notice the context in which Jesus is speaking. He is saying in the verses before that we should not get burdened down by all the things of this world. The material things that we all need such as food, clothing, shelter and so on. He does not say that we don’t need these things nor that they are not important. What He does say is that God, who clothes the lilies of the field with so much beauty and feeds the fowls of the air with all they need , will take note of you and likewise will meet all your material needs. After all, He says that you are much more to God than these things. So, what is He saying and why is He saying it?
He is saying to you, to me and to all the world, “be free from the worries and cares of trying to provide for yourself, from being your own provider, stop worrying about tomorrow which you have no control over and start trusting the one who controls all of your tomorrows.”
He is setting us free to simply enjoy the fellowship and relationship with God, our creator and provider. He says to seek first, above all, the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Let that be the primary motive for living and He will take care of all the other things in your life that you have need of.
