Whatever you set your heart on and seek after, that you will find.

This is a principle in life.

Jesus said, “but seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Anything we put first before these is in direct disobedience to his commandment.

In context, this is in regards to eating food, clothing, and even a place to live. “Do not worry about tomorrow, tomorrow has enough worries of its own.”

What does it mean to “seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness”?

First I think to recognize what you are seeking first, and turn (repent) from that as a priority.

“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus” (Hebrews 12:1-2 NIV).

When Jesus called Peter to come to him on the water, with eyes fixed on Jesus, Peter “got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.” But when he looked at the waves, he began to sink.

If we are fixed on Jesus, on His kingdom, on His righteousness, we rely on His power, His authority, and His grace to uphold us. But when we look to our own strength, wisdom and logic, we reattach ourselves to this world, and sink into the filthy, slimy, mucky water that would tear us away from our Jesus, our freedom. He is THE door. But it is not a logical door. He is freedom, and it’s not by our understanding. It’s by faith that we seek him.
