Matthew 6:33 - seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
God doesn’t want you grabbing the newspaper first thing in the morning and reading all the bad news in the world. He knows that if you do that, your heart will be full of cares, anxieties and even fears.
When you are reading the newspapers, magazines, medical journals, economic reports, watching movies or surfing the Internet all the time, then you are getting your “nourishment” from these sources instead of God’s Word. But if you constantly feed only on earthly things, you will fill your heart and mind with cares and worries.
Jesus doesn’t want you to end up worrying about things in your life—as these are the things that the Gentiles (people of the world) seek. He says that your heavenly Father knows very well that you need these things. (Matthew 6:31–32)
That is why He promises you that if you would seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, all the things that you need, will be added to you. It will not just be given but added, which means greater in quantity and quality!
So don’t grab the newspaper or call your friend first thing in the morning to talk about the latest bad news. Instead, grab your Bible first and read all the good news God has for you for the day.
Thought for the day!
Pursue God and His righteousness first, and all the things that you need will be added to you.
