Jesus dicit

Word 56 of 310Trust

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.

Matthew 6:33

BSB

Read Matthew 6 in a modern translation BSB
Read the whole chapter (Matthew 6)

First

Jesus says this after his words about worry: about food, drink and clothing. He doesn't say those things are unimportant. The Father knows you need them.

It all turns on the word first. It is a question of order. Whoever puts God's kingdom first finds that the rest falls into place.

Question for today

What comes first for me, and what should come first?

Prayer

Father, you know what I need. Help me today to seek you first, and to leave the rest to you. Amen.
