“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” - Matthew 6:33Welcome to today's reflection. In a world increasingly dominated by messages of material success and instant gratification, the timeless words of Matthew 6:33 offer us a different perspective.  In the context of the verse, Jesus addresses the worries of everyday life—food, clothing, and basic necessities, assuring that these will be provided for those who prioritise spiritual wealth.In a time when society often measures success in terms of riches, status, and possessions, this verse challenges us to a different standard. Seeking God’s kingdom is about living in a way that honors God, serves others, and spreads the message of Christ's love and salvation.In practical terms, seeking God's kingdom first means making our relationship with God a priority. This could be through daily prayer, reading the scriptures, or simply being mindful of His presence in our lives—by making decisions that reflect our Christian values, or finding ways to serve and uplift our church and communities.This doesn’t mean that we neglect our responsibilities or personal ambitions. Rather, It’s about making conscious choices that align with God’s will and His purposes, even when it goes against the norms of our society or personal desires. It is a reminder that in our pursuit of careers, relationships, or even leisure, we should not lose sight of what truly matters—our relationship with God and the eternal impact to our lives.The promise attached to this command is profound. Jesus assures us that when we prioritise God’s kingdom, our material needs will be taken care of. This doesn’t imply a life free from struggles or a guarantee of prosperity, but rather a reassurance of God’s faithful provision. Philippians 4:19 echoes this promise: “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.”As we reflect on Matthew 6:33, let us ask ourselves: What are we seeking first in our lives? Are we chasing after temporary pleasures or are we investing in eternal treasures? Let us take a moment today to re-evaluate and re-align our priorities. Jesus is calling us to a higher purpose. It is an invitation to trust in God’s provision, to find contentment in His grace, and to make our spiritual journey the cornerstone of our lives. As we navigate the complexities of this modern life, let this verse be a compass that guides us back to what is eternally significant—seeking God’s kingdom and His righteousness.
