Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
We should be seeking God before all the other things that are the subject of our anxiety:
- seek it before your needs
- seek it before your survival
- seek it before your image
- seek it before money
- seek it before anything else.
The giver is more important than the gifts. Are we more "anxious" about our sin or our reputation with others?
Seeking other things will be a never ending quest for satisfaction. Seeking God leads to satisfaction and all the other things will be taken care of - by the one who knows our needs best.
Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither.
CS Lewis
