RIGHT PRIORITIES!
Matthew 6:33 – Devotional
Matthew 6:33
“Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
This passage of Scripture is part of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has just given what we know as the Beatitudes, or what we might call the Divine blessings. Jesus teaches us about our everyday needs such as food, clothing, and shelter. He warns that we can get the wrong priorities in our life if we only focus on those issues.
So what are we to devote our efforts to? You are correct if you answer the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. When we devote our efforts to please God, He will supply everything we need.
It is important that the Lord does not say He will supply our wants, but rather the things that we need. Paul repeatedly shared how he endured hardships as the Lord was always with him and allowed the trials to become opportunities.
My desire is to devote myself in the days I have left in this life to seek to please God in everything I do. I want to be a generous giver rather than a stingy taker. I want to burn out brightly for Jesus in all that I do and all that I say.
May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
