Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. —Matthew 6:33.
Jesus is speaking in his Sermon on the Mount. He wants us not to worry about all the stuff we often pursue. So, let’s seek (pursue relentlessly) God’s Lordship over our lives and his righteousness, which reflects his holy character in our daily dealings. Everything else we pursue is temporary. Only God and his Kingdom remain. As we pursue God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, Jesus promises that the one who gives us his Kingdom and his righteousness will also bless us with what we need in this life, as well!
