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 verse – Matthew 6:33 – in context, assures us of God’s providence when we prioritize His kingdom and His righteousness. It gives us a new perspective on our worries and challenges us to seek after the things of God rather than being excessive about our worldly needs.
Basically, Jesus is directing us to change the order of our priority list. He invites us to make God, His kingdom, and His righteous ways, our number one concern. This doesn’t mean that the realities of life like food, clothing, and shelter are irrelevant. Rather, it means that when God’s Kingdom becomes our pursuit, these things that seem all-important to us will fall into place.
It’s about having outright trust in God, knowing that He who feeds the ravens and clothes the lilies, can adequately provide for our needs.

- Try to live according to God’s righteousness in every area of your life.
- When making decisions, consider what aligns with God’s kingdom and righteousness first.
