First Things First

Jesus spoke these words right after telling his followers not to worry about food and clothing. He knew how easily daily needs crowd out everything else, so he gave a simple order of priorities.

Seeking the kingdom first is about the question we ask first each day. Before “What do I need?”, we ask “What does God want?”

The promise that follows is generous: all these things shall be added. God is not careless about your needs. Today, give him the first few minutes of your day before anything else.
