Seek First His Kingdom π§π§π§π§
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33
π Bible in a Year: Reading for the Day
Old Testament: Psalms 119
New Testament: Matthew 6–7
π‘ Devotional Thought:
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and is entirely devoted to the beauty and power of God's Word. It reminds us that those who treasure God's commands find wisdom, peace, and direction for every area of life.
Jesus teaches that our highest priority should always be God's Kingdom. Worry loses its grip when we place God first. Rather than allowing earthly concerns to control our hearts, we are invited to trust the Father who knows our every need. A life centered on God's Kingdom is marked by peace, purpose, and confidence.
A healthy church seeks God's will above personal ambition.
π Application:
Council & Pastoral: Make every ministry decision centered on God's Kingdom.
Men & Ladies: Prioritize God above career, finances, and personal goals.
Youth & Children: Put Jesus first in your school, friendships, and daily choices.
π€ Reflection:
What competes with God for first place in my life?
π Take Away:
When God comes first, everything else finds its proper place.
π Prayer:
Father, teach us to seek Your Kingdom above everything else. Remove distractions that pull our hearts away from You. Help us trust that You will provide everything we truly need as we faithfully follow Your will. In Jesus' name, Amen.
