#4083 – Kingdom First

Good morning people who follow God’s order of priorities

Matthew 6:28-33 NIV And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

God is the Provider and the Sustainer of Life, including ours. This is absolute truth!

Many times we live in lack because we chase after the things that God promised to add to us if we chase after Him and His kingdom.

Jesus said that chasing after ‘things’ as a priority is what the ‘pagans’ (unbelievers) do. This is not who we are!

It’s time to realign what we are ‘seeking first’.
