Matthew 6:33 NASB
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you.
Devotional
Seek! That is the focus word in this verse.
This word is a robust word, describing a passionate pursuit of something to make it our own.
The Kingdom, and the righteousness of those in this Kingdom, is not our wish, our hope, our dream – it is our passion.
We will pursue it at all costs.
We will pursue it with passion.
This will be our consuming effort until we make it our own, or better yet, find it our home!
Prayer suggestions
- Ask God to forgive you for letting your passion for His Kingdom and His character get pushed to the side.
- Ask God to awaken you each morning with a sense of passion for His work and His will for that day.
- Ask God to help you be a passionate seeker for His Kingdom.
- Ask God to make you restless for His Kingdom as your home.
