But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33
In our fast-paced lives, it’s easy to let urgent matters overshadow what’s truly important. Work deadlines, family obligations, and personal goals can quickly fill our minds and schedules, leaving little room for the things of God. But Jesus calls us to a different way of living—one where His kingdom is our first priority.
Seeking God’s kingdom first means aligning our hearts with His will, placing our relationship with Him above all else. It’s not about neglecting our responsibilities but about inviting God into every area of our lives. When we prioritize prayer, worship, and obedience, we’re acknowledging that everything we have and need comes from Him.
God promises that when we make Him our first priority, He will provide for our needs. This doesn’t mean life will be without challenges, but it does mean we can trust Him to care for us as we walk in faith.
Pray
Lord, help me to put You first in everything I do. Teach me to seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness above my own desires and distractions. I surrender my plans, my time, and my priorities to You. May my life reflect Your love and purpose as I trust You to provide for all my needs. In Jesus’ name, amen.
