But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
— Matthew 6:33

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

"Seek first"! Seeking the kingdom first is the primary focus of today's verse. "Seek first..." is Jesus' robust, prioritizing command. God's kingdom must be the passionate pursuit of our lives. Seeking the Lord's kingdom, and his righteousness must not just be our wish, our hope, our dream — it must be our passion. We will pursue God's kingdom at all costs. We will pursue it with all of our passion. Seeking God's kingdom first will be our consuming effort until we find it our home!

My Prayer...

Forgive me, dear God, for letting my passion for your Kingdom and your character get pushed to the side. Awaken me each morning with a sense of prioritizing focus for your work and your will for each day. Father, I want to be a passionate seeker, so please make me restless for your Kingdom as my home. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
