Seek first His Kingdom and His Righteousness

Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness……….. (Matthew 6:33)

Unlike olden days, these days people wake up very late in the mornings. Since they sit before their television sets till late night, they’re unable to go to bed early.

Many have time to eat food to the full, time to dress luxuriously, time to work very hard, time to sit before the Television sets but no time to seek the presence of God.

Many strive hard to complete their physical works but when it comes to seek the Lord, they procrastinate.

Not searching the Lord with much importance and due reference dishonors the Lord more than not spending time with Him.

Giving importance to all other things of the world than not giving more importance to seek God’s grace is a greater weakness.

Jesus said “Just as it was in the days of Lot, so also will it be in the days of Son of Man“. The unrighteousness acts or the sinful acts that took place in the days of Lot were not the ones that Jesus was pointing out. People were “eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building“. (Luke 17:28)

Things that are mentioned here are essential for life on earth, but when they were obsessed in these things, then came the destruction. What went wrong? Being obsessed with the things of the world, they were careless about God and His Kingdom. They forgot to search themselves before God and reconcile with Him. The end was unexpected destruction.

It is necessary to look after business, necessary to earn money by working hard, necessary to be diligent in family maters, necessary to look after our children’s needs but amidst all these, God’s fellowship and God’s presence is the most important which makes life a blessed one. There is no profit in working hard lest we have His grace.

Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and then blessings over all things, grace, happiness and peace will be given to you. Have relationship with God and receive His blessings. Amen!!!
