Scripture Passage: Matthew 6:33 (NIV)
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”
This verse is part of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, where He teaches about the priorities of life. Speaking to His disciples and a larger crowd, Jesus contrasts worldly anxieties with trust in God’s provision. The audience, many of whom were poor and worried about daily needs, were encouraged to focus on God’s kingdom above material concerns.
Jesus calls us to focus on God’s kingdom and righteousness above all else. Rather than being consumed by worries about food, clothing, or the future, we are to align our lives with God’s purposes. When we make God our first priority, He promises to take care of our needs. This is not an invitation to neglect responsibilities, but a reminder that God is the ultimate provider. Trusting Him requires faith in His goodness, even when life feels uncertain.
Consider a gardener who tends to their plants daily, making sure they have water and sunlight. The plants don’t worry about their needs being met—they grow naturally, trusting in the gardener’s care. In the same way, God nourishes and sustains us when we place our trust in Him.
Are you allowing worries to distract you from seeking God’s kingdom? Reflect on what might be competing for first place in your life. How can you trust God more fully in these areas? Set aside time each day to focus on God’s Word and prayer. Identify one area of worry and release it to God, trusting in His provision. Look for ways to serve His kingdom through acts of love and kindness.
Today’s Prayer: Lord, help me to seek Your kingdom and righteousness above all else. When worries arise, remind me of Your faithfulness and provision. Guide me to trust in Your perfect plan for my life, knowing You will meet my every need. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
