Highlights

And we can rest in the knowledge that he is our provider and our sustainer for every day, and that he will never leave us nor forsake us. So friends, let's make a commitment today to seek God's kingdom first and his righteousness. Let's put Him first in every aspect of our lives and trust that he will provide for us in every way. I hope that this powerful verse inspires us to live lives in a way that honors God. And may we experience the blessings and the provision that come from seeking Him first.

We should strive to be obedient to his commands and love Him with all of our hearts and love others as well. And the only way to do that, friend, is by seeking God in times of prayer, meditating on his word, and inviting the Holy Spirit, who is our helper, along on the journey. Secondly, we need to seek God's righteousness. This means making decisions every day with God's wisdom, morally and ethically, striving to be holy as he is holy, different from the rest of the world.

This verse is a powerful reminder that when we prioritize God's kingdom and his righteousness in our lives, he provides all we need. He takes care of us in every way. Isn't it easy to get caught up in our own desires and worries? But when we seek God's kingdom first, we place our priorities in our heart and everything falls into the right place. So how can you and I apply this verse to our lives? Firstly, we need to seek God's kingdom above everything else.
