But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. —Matthew 6:33 NKJV

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, —Matthew 6:33 NKJV

A. Seek

to strive after

B. First

before anything is else done

C. Kingdom of God

kingdom of heaven or of God; the benefits or blessings whether present or future

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. —James 4:8 NKJV

D. His Righteousness

integrity, virtue, purity of life, uprightness, correctness in thinking, feeling, and acting: the righteousness which God demands

But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ. Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead. —Philippians 3:7-11 NKJV

…and all these things shall be added to you. —Matthew 6:33 NKJV

A. All These Things

“Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. —Matthew 6:31-32 NKJV

B. Why I Don’t Have To Worry

Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. —Matthew 6:26-29 NKJV
