Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.(ASV)
Interesting why Jesus would say this Seek first His kingdom. If we look at the context of the whole passage He is telling us that the animals and the plants don't worry about the earthly things such as food and water God has already provided those things, He has even given them clothing to where. What I believe that Jesus is trying to express to us, is we spend to much time worring about the newest and greatest thing, whether that be a gadget or clothing line, you see even later on we learn that earthly things will not last. Have you ever seen a hearse being followed by a U-haul, didn't think so, or have you ever seen some one buried with their new iPhone, well not yet anyways. We are called as Christians to be like Christ, that's right just like Him, thats what being a Christian is a little Christ. When we are seeking after the Lord the earthly things don't matter much any more and we will not be worrying about the latest and greatest thing on the planet, not that having that stuff is bad but it is not to be our primary focus. God gives us opportunities here on earth to fulfill our call as christians, next time we will look at that call and opportunity.
