Seek First God’s Kingdom

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

As a child of God, know that God wants to meet all your needs. Jesus tells us, “For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.” He wants you to seek His kingdom first, and when you do, all the things that you need will be added to you!

So your first priority every day is to seek His kingdom. The word “first” in verse 33 is the Greek word, for “first in order or importance, holding the highest place in all our affections.”  When we seek His kingdom first then all things will fall into place.

The word “seek” in verse 32, is the Greek word which means “to seek with all your might, to hunger, to desire.” It’s hungering without any labor or toil.

If you want peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, then seek every day to know your righteousness in Christ. Pursue Jesus first. Spend time with Him and listen to His Word. And when you do these things, you are seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, and all the things that you need will be added to you!
