Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
We read this scripture, but what does it actually mean? The context of this scripture is worry. Prior to verse 33, Jesus lets us know not to worry about what we shall eat, drink, or wear. Based on the context, we can extend this list to add worrying about how we’re going to pay the mortgage/rent, when we’re going to get married, or when we’re going to have children.
Jesus is telling us to get our minds off of worry and focus on the Kingdom of God. How is this done? As the Spirit leads us, we get involved at our local church to do our part to advance the Kingdom of God. We participate in giving our finances to further spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. We submit ourselves to God. We focus our attention on Jesus and what He’s done for our lives instead of worry.
Don’t allow the pressure of worry to suck the enjoyment out of life. We have been promised that our needs will be given to us, therefore, rest in that promise; but, in the meantime, focus on the Kingdom of God.
