Matthew 6:33 (NKJV) 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

So,\u00a0what exactly happens when we seek first the kingdom of God? We get fed, we get clothed, we get taken care of. Wow, how rewarding!<\/p>\n

Matthew 6:31-32 (NKJV) 31 \u201cTherefore do not worry, saying, \u2018What shall we eat?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we drink?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we wear?\u2019 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

God will take care of these things. Is that the reason why we should seek God and His righteousness? No! We shouldn’t have a motive other than wanting to do the right thing and be closer to Him. But it sure is nice to know that by doing so all these things will be added to us.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is a gift. It is a privilege. It is an honor and a blessing, all wrapped together in seeking God.<\/p>\n

Now, don’t make the mistake of thinking that following God means that He just makes everything we need fall into our laps from unknown sources. Yes, sometimes that can happen. But, most times He will require steps and action on our part. In turn, He provides for us in ways that are just as rewarding, and sometimes even miraculous.<\/p>\n

Jesus gave\u00a0His precious life so\u00a0that we can have access to our Father. Let’s go after Him with everything in\u00a0us. Seek first the kingdom!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
