“But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” - Matthew 6:33 (ESV)
In the words of Jesus Christ from the Sermon on the Mount, we as believers are instructed to not be anxious about what we have to eat, drink and wear. These seemly mundane things are personal material needs and do cause some to be concerned (another word for anxiety or worry). But Jesus say we are not to worry or be concerned. We have looked so far at five of the seven promises in the larger passage of Matthew 6:25-34. Today we look at the godly behavior which Jesus instructs us to live by. Seek first God, his Kingdom and His Righteousness. If we will give ourselves to His cause in the world, rather than fretting about our private material needs, He will make sure that we have all we need to do His will and give Him glory. All the food and drink and clothing — and everything else — that you need to do His will and glorify him.
