SEEK FIRST HIS KINGDOM
Keywords 6:33
But seek first his kingdom and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
1. Treasures in Heaven (19-21, 24)
Treasures on earth are temporary
and costly. These days, our precious belongings become outdated after a year or
two. Newer and better treasures make us always want more, even though we can’t afford them. Earthly treasures
never fully satisfy. But there is a great treasure that never gets old or loses
value. It is also something that money cannot buy, yet it is freely given to
us.
2.
Look at the birds and flowers (22-23, 25-34)
These days, we are bombarded by
advertisements and opinions that tell us how we should live and what we should
look like. It makes us worry and feel insecure. Jesus reminds us to look at the
birds of the air and the flowers of the field. The love of our father God, who
gave us life and created the heavens and the earth, is our source of joy and
righteousness. We must live today secure in his grace, regardless of the
uncertainty of tomorrow’s events. When we seek first his
kingdom and righteousness, we find that his grace is sufficient and boundless
for all our needs.
Prayer
Lord, open my eyes to see that I am
enough, as I am, in your grace. Nothing in this world can satisfy as you do.
One Word Seek heavenly treasure
