“But let your first care be for his kingdom and his righteousness; and all these other things will be given to you in addition.” Matthew 6:33

Jesus says how we spend our times tell Him how much we love Him. Every day another 24 hours or 1,440 minutes or 86,400 seconds and Jesus says how we spend it is a good indication of where our heart is. Some of us spend a majority of our time looking for riches, getting an education, running around after our mate and children without any thoughts of the kingdom of God. Considering what Jesus says earlier in Matthew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
It is not enough to ambitiously yearn to accomplish. It is not enough to attend church “Kingdom building” is a life style and according to Jesus, God's Kingdom and His righteousness are the very top priorities in all of life. Seeking God's righteousness is that important. The devil knows this and he try to blind us (those who let him), with complicated situations to keep us away from kingdom work. Our focus should be toward the end result. He gives this encouragement and admonishment to motivate us to understand and live all of life in relation to where it ends. Will life end in the Kingdom of God or in the Lake of Fire? That is a choice that each person makes. Even in the everyday things, eating and drinking, going to work, getting along with others, and so on, God wants His people to relate those daily experiences to their goal, the Kingdom of God. Since you and I have no doubts of our salvation, we have to work hard in helping others.
Friend, you have to be very careful when focusing on material thing. Always make time for God and His Kingdom. Be vigilant; make sure to keep the big picture in front of you. Be anxious for nothing. Let God lead you. Be hungry for Him. Be Hungry for His word and His Kingdom and watch all other situations fall under His control and experience His Glory.
Praise the Lord!
