Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Most of us have heard this verse and have heard it taught on many times. And rightly so, since it’s very important.
Let’s take an even deeper look at it in today’s devotional, that will hopefully shed some new light on how important it really is to understand this one and apply it to our lives.
You see, putting God first should never be considered optional. In reality it is optional, because He gives us a free will and the ability to choose. But if we want to see our life change and be walking on the path that God has for us, we can no longer consider it to be such.
As we seek God, and I mean really pursue Him, it will ultimately change everything about our outlook on life. We will begin to see things differently. And the things that we used to think were so important will start to fade into the background as He shapes and molds us.
We will learn how to be content, no matter the situation. We will learn when to be silent when we always thought we had to speak and say our piece. We will learn that putting others first isn’t such a bad idea, as we learn to show others God through our actions. Having the last word won’t be as important as it used to be.
Our perspective will change.
And as our perspective changes, we will have a new understanding of things that once baffled or confounded us. Because now we are seeing them through the eyes of the Holy Spirit, and not our own natural eyes.
So let’s let God give us a new perspective. And see how quickly things begin to look different to us. And In this, all things will be added to us.
