Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
Matthew 6:33 (NLT)
To seek means to strive after, endeavor to find, and tenaciously look for; to strive after something. In other words, Jesus tells us to strive after the Kingdom of God above all else. Instead of fruitless worry over worldly concerns, Jesus tells us to trust the heavenly Father; He provides His children with what is needed.
We need to pursue the kingdom of God, trusting in God’s righteousness and His love. God knows our needs. He will provide for our basic needs when we live righteously and trust in Him. We need to change our focus from material things instead make our priority focusing on seeking the Kingdom of God. When we make our relationship with God the center of our life, he will give us everything we really need. β
Do you try to solve your problems and worries elsewhere, or do you turn to the Kingdom of God?
Prayer; Our Heavenly Father, thank You for Your love and care. Lord, teach us to reach out to you instead of relying on our understanding. Help us to live righteously and have faith and trust in Your care for us. Guide us to pursue Your kingdom and accept Your will. Like the Ranunculus blossom opening in the sunlight, let us be open-hearted and turn toward and share Your light, Lord Jesus. Amen

A much needed reminder Jeanne. Although I take a worry to God in prayer, I do not always leave it at his feet. This is something I am growing in.
Blessings to you ππ

Hi Manu, I also struggle with returning to my worries rather than leaving them at the foot of the cross. It takes a constant, consistent effort to let go and let God. I am a work in progress. π It is good to hear from you! Blessings and peace! β€οΈπ¦πΊ
