But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33
What is Jesus saying here? He is saying that the top priority in anyone’s life is the kingdom of God. The kingdom of God is Spiritual in character, and no human weapons can be used to establish it.. This is represented by the organized church, or the visible church if you will, but it is more comprehensive and greater than the visible church in anytime in history.
To the individual the kingdom of God means being brought into a personal relationship with God through subjection and devotion to Him, and a blessed spiritual relationship by the blood atonement for the cleansing of all sin.
To seek “first” means to seek God before and above everything else. Once we put God first then everything else in our lives will fall into their proper places.
Do you know this truth? Are you seeking after God and all His righteousness? If the answer is “I’m lacking in this” then come before the Lord. He will wash you clean and help you in seeking His righteousness
