Finding Guidance in Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Many of us have experienced that nagging question: “Where do I go from here?” It’s a question that arises in various seasons of life—whether you’re facing a career change, navigating a relationship, or simply trying to find your purpose in life. In these moments of confusion, we begin to search for clarity. One verse that reassures us in times of uncertainty is Matthew 6:33, which states, “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
This verse offers a insight into the way we approach our lives and the decisions we make. It encourages us to prioritize our relationship with God above all else. It instructs us to seek a deeper understanding of His kingdom and His righteousness, and His ways, teaching us that when we align our lives with these principles, everything else will fall into place.
So, how do we go about seeking the kingdom of God? It begins with a heart open to His presence. This can look different for everyone—perhaps it’s through prayer, engaging in other Believers, reading scripture, or simply spending quiet moments in meditation.
The key is to create space for God in our lives and to actively seek His guidance.
When we take the time to seek God, we begin to gain clarity about our path in life. We may not receive a detailed roadmap, but we will find peace in knowing that we are not alone in our journey. God is there to guide us, providing wisdom, comfort and direction when we need it most.
“His righteousness” is a critical aspect of this verse. It speaks to living in a way that reflects God’s character and values. This might mean making choices that align with integrity, compassion, and love, even when the world around us seems chaotic or when the easier path is tempting.
By striving to embody these values, we not only draw closer to God but it keeps us in position and also create a sense of purpose that can guide us through tough decisions.
The last part of Matthew 6:33 assures us that when we prioritize seeking God and His righteousness, "all these things will be added to you." This promise can be incredibly comforting, because Jesus has been speaking about meeting the needs we have, and the depth of His Love for us. It reminds us that we do not need to bear the weight of our worries alone. God knows our needs and desires; He will provide us with what we need in His perfect timing.
