Kingdom of God

Matthew 6:33

"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

The above verse is a very powerful one than what we think. We just side step this verse very often,and go on with our own priorities. We go after things that are not that important. We are eventually led to believe in a certain format, which slowly sets in, and grips our life.

For some, money is the motivation, for some others fame and luxury may be the motivation. Things like music, sports, travel, work etc...could be the other driving forces of our life. we see today's world filled with the pursuit of these things one way or the other, and hence life becomes very difficult.

But Jesus is too good a person to follow. All He says is that "You seek me", and "I will give you all the other things that you may need". So simple, isnt it?. What are the things that He promises to the one who seeks Him?. Let us look at the verses preceeding this.

Verses 28-31 " 28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’" (NIV)

You get the point?, He promises to give everything that we "Need". Need is the key word. God always speaks to the point.

We may have been driven by several things in our life so far, and all our pursuits could have been in vain which could have led us to feel unworthy. But, can we try seeking Him today?. The only purpose you and me exist is to seek Him. If we do this, We can be assured that we are into His safest hands forever.

Would you pray this prayer with me?

Dear Heavenly father, So far in my life, I have been driven by so many passions. I have worn myself out in pursuit of the things of this world. I have no satisfaction, no peace. I am in desperate need of a changeover in life. I want to seek you from now. Please come into my heart and lead me in your way. Thank you Lord for accepting me. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
