Bible Verse
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” – Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
Meaning
This powerful verse is at the heart of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, urging believers to put God first in their lives. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,” is more than a mere suggestion. It’s an invitation from Jesus Himself to prioritize our relationship with God above everything else. It promises that when we make God’s kingdom our primary concern, He’ll take care of our other needs.
“His kingdom” refers to God’s rule over our hearts and lives, while “His righteousness” encourages us to desire a life that reflects God’s holiness and justice. To “seek first” means to desire above anything else, making it the number one priority in our life. This requires a continuous effort and daily commitment.
The promise at the end of the verse, “all these things will be given to you as well,” refers to our needs. Not necessarily every want, but every need. It reassures us that God is our provider who can meet our needs when we seek Him above all else.
Actions to Take
- Prioritize time with God daily through prayer and studying His word.
- Cultivate a lifestyle of dependence on God, not on worldly possessions or status.
- Identify areas of your life where God’s kingdom needs to reign and surrender those areas to Him.
- Reflect Christ’s righteousness in your actions and decisions daily.
- Trust God with your needs and let go of excessive worry.
