Today’s Bible Reading: Matthew 6:19-33¹

There are many ways of killing a cat, and there are many ways of making it in life. There is however one perfect way to succeed, prospers, progress and win in life without losing your soul, and that is to seek first the kingdom and righteousness of God.

Many are running after things and they end up losing God and piercing their souls with foolish and hurtful lust (See 1 Timothy 6:9-10²). But those who put God first have all other things added unto them.

The Bible reveals how senseless it is to run after these other things. Our father knows we need them and He will add them unto us when we seek His righteousness and the kingdom first (See Matthew 6:32³). Consider the lilies and sparrows, if He takes care of them, then He will take care of you.

So continue in faith. Don’t be like the unbelievers. Seek first the kingdom and righteousness of God means that for every action or choice you make, ask whether it aligns with the kingdom and whether it is how God would want you to act.

God bless you.

Today’s Prayer

Dear God

Help me to seek first Your kingdom and righteousness. I don’t want to run after things nor get anxious. You clothe the lilies of the valley and the sparrows; I am counting on you! In Jesus name, Amen!

1. Matthew 6:19-33 (KJV): Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. ↩︎
2. 1 Timothy 6:9-10 (KJV): But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. ↩︎
