Matthew 6:33
Seek ye first the kingdom of God. The promise is made that if we
seek it first, and its righteousness, all earthly wants will be
supplied. The condition demands, (1) That we seek the kingdom "first"
in point of time. Some propose to secure a competence, and after they
have gained it, they will serve God. (2) We must make it "first" in
importance. Everything else must give way before its demands. (3) It
must be "first" in our affections, have our whole hearts. We must "love
the Lord our God with the whole heart" (Matthew 22:37).
His righteousness. The righteousness that God bestows upon those
who are in the Kingdom, Christ's righteousness, the forgiveness of sins
in his name.
