Bible Verse of The Day – 2-20-14

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

This is a pretty familiar verse for most people who have been followers of Christ for any length of time. In fact, it’s probably almost too familiar, to the point of losing some of its meaning for some of us.

God tells us to seek Him first. And if we do that, He promises that all “these things” will be added to us.

So first of all, He gives us a command; seek Him and His kingdom first.

And then, based on our obedience to His command, he makes a promise; all these things shall be added to you (us).

What “things” is He talking about?

Our everyday needs. Food, clothing and shelter. These are the things that so many of us spend countless hours worrying about and chasing after, week after week. And they are important things, to be sure.

But if we put God first, truly first, He promises that He will provide those things for us!

We wish we had the space here to share testimony after testimony from people, including ourselves, who have “gotten this” after a long time, and then when they did get it, everything came together for them and they understood God’s peace and His provision in a brand new way. These testimonies would blow your minds and speak volumes as to the faithfulness of God and the truth of His word and His promises.

So, stop worrying, seek (put) Him first. And let Him add all these things to you.
