Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you.

This text is part of what is known as Jesus “Sermon On The Mount.”

The call today is to get our "priorities" in order by "Putting God "First" in our lives.

In this part of His sermon Jesus drives home His point which says “do not worry, but instead, seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”

Seek the kingdom of God first! Seek the rule and reign of Christ on the throne of your heart. This is the kingdom that Jesus is calling us to seek on today. Seek to know Christ, seek to know His will for our lives and obey it.

We as humans have a tendency to seek and put before God everything imaginable and all of them last but for a little while.

Proverbs 14:12- There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

Anything that is not adding to your spiritual growth is hindering it and affecting your relationship with God and His purpose for your life.

It is not enough to just seek God, but to seek Him “first”. First means first. How do you seek Him? By faith through His Word and prayer.

Life is uncertain, time is short, therefore, we need to attend to the matter of making God first “priority” in our lives an urgent matter.

Until we put God “first” in our lives, we will never be satisfied. We can shop and buy all we want, we can take one vacation after another, we can seek one career after another, we can do this and we can do that, but we will still be empty and find our self still needing more and more “stuff.”

"But blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence” (Jer. 17:7, NIV)

We will never know the full reward of obedience until we put God "first.”

Where does God fit in your life? Is He first? If not, who is?

God bless you all.
