In the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s all too easy to become sidetracked by distractions, obligations, and an endless list of things to do. However, Matthew 6:33 serves as a powerful reminder of what truly matters: “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Jesus’ words call you to focus on prioritizing God in every aspect of your life. This means making a conscious effort to live in a way that honors Him, aligning your heart and actions with His will. It invites you to start with Jesus—let Him be the center and focus of all you do.
To truly seek His kingdom, dedicate time each day to grow in your relationship with Him. Allow God to transform your heart and shift your perspective on life. Cultivating an expectant heart helps you recognize the countless blessings God has already bestowed upon you, enabling you to see His hand in every part of your life.
The ripple effect of prioritizing Jesus first is profound. Your relationship with Him will flow into every other part of your life, influencing the type of spouse, parent, and friend you are. It will shape how you spend your time and money, and how you approach challenges and opportunities. When you make seeking the kingdom of God your priority, everything else in your life begins to shift.
As parents, the task of prioritizing God can sometimes feel daunting. The demands of daily life can be overwhelming, leaving you feeling stretched thin. But Jesus assures us that when we seek His kingdom first, everything else will be added to us. This doesn’t promise an easy life or the absence of challenges, but it does guarantee that God will provide for your needs, guiding and sustaining you as you navigate the ups and downs of parenting.
By making God your priority, you create a strong, unshakable foundation for your life and your family, regardless of what comes your way. Your faith becomes a source of strength, resilience, and peace that you can share with your children, teaching them the importance of putting God first in their own lives.
