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

We’re going through a time in our nation right now where a lot of people are worried about their things.  They’re concerned about their money, their homes, their cars, and the list goes on.  And truly your heart goes out to the person who has saved all their working life to have a comfortable retirement only to see their savings wiped out.  But there is good news; if we’ll seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness He has promised to provide the things we need!  Third John 2 declares that God wants us to “prosper in all things.”  So, God truly wants us to have things.  What He doesn’t want is for us to seek things first. 

When I hear about people taking their own lives because they’ve lost their things I realize that they were seeking things first and not the Kingdom of God.  If you truly seek the Kingdom first you can rest assured that no matter what happens to your things God will always replace them.  It’s part of our benefit package in the Kingdom of God.  So don’t worry about your things,  just seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and trust Him to provide the things you need.
