| “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”- Matthew 6:33 Love, money, job, successful career, family, home, friendship, security, time out, peace, joy, rest, excitement, good health. All these things came to mind as I looked at this text. As far as I can tell, these things are the ones which occupy most of us at some point or other - normally when we've either lost them, or when it looks as if we may lose them, or perhaps someone we love is going through the mill, or, perhaps it's something we've never experienced and yet yearn for. But rather than running after our dreams and then coming to God afterwards, Jesus tells us unequivocally to seek God first. He knows exactly what we need, as well as what we desire, and He promises that we will be satisfied if we go to Him first and foremost. He says "I am the way, the truth and the life." and also "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full." So, not partial, or in small ways, but a life filled with all the goodness that God can possibly give us - that is what He promises - if we trust and seek him first. Have a great week! Evelyn
