“But seek first the Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” - Matthew 6:33
The first step to getting what you want in life is knowing what you want, Yeshua said, in essence, the key to getting what you want out of life is to focus on what I want for your life. Note the words “seek first.” This word “seek” means “to strive for diligently” or “to desire strongly.” The action is continuous. It says, “Keep on striving for, keep on seeking, keep on desiring daily.”
When Yeshua says, “Seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, it means you don't have to pray about what your top priority in life ought to be; everything you do will be ordered by those two things. Where you work, how you spend your time, the person you marry, how to manage your money, the relationships you form, the pastimes you enjoy, purchases you make, all these things will be shifted and sorted through one filter. Is this for His Kingdom? Does it relate to His righteousness? Can you see how living this way would transform your marriage, your work, your family, your finances, and every other area of your life.
But in order to pursue the priorities of the Kingdom? You must first have a relationship with the King. You won't even know where the Kingdom is or what it looks like unless you know the King and you can know Him. How? As you open up the pages of His Word and open up your heart, there He will reveal Himself to you. And as you spend time with Him in prayer, He will respond to you.
