Seek God First (Matthew 6:33)
Every day, something is competing for your attention.
Your phone.
School.
Work.
Money.
Relationships.
Goals.
Entertainment.
Social media.
None of these things are automatically wrong. But when they become more important than God, our priorities begin to change.
Jesus gives us a different way to live:
“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.”
Notice the word first.
God doesn't want to be an afterthought in our lives.
Not the person we remember only when something goes wrong.
Not someone we squeeze into whatever time remains after everything else.
He calls us to put Him first.
Before the notifications.
Before the pressure to impress people.
Before chasing success.
Before making major decisions.
Before worrying about tomorrow.
Seek God first.
But what does that actually look like?
It can begin with something simple.
Start your day with prayer.
Spend time reading God's Word.
Ask Him for wisdom before making decisions.
Choose obedience even when doing the right thing is difficult.
Let your relationship with Christ influence the way you work, study, speak, spend, create, and treat people.
Seeking God first doesn't mean ignoring your responsibilities.
It means allowing God to guide how you handle them.
You can pursue your education while seeking God.
You can build your career while seeking God.
You can pursue your dreams while seeking God.
You can build relationships while seeking God.
The question is:
Who is leading whom?
Are you asking God to follow the plans you've already created?
Or are you willing to follow where He leads?
Sometimes we spend so much energy chasing things we believe will make us happy.
More money.
More recognition.
More followers.
More possessions.
More opportunities.
Yet even after gaining them, the heart can still feel empty.
Because nothing created can replace the Creator.
Jesus reminds us to reorder our priorities.
God first. Everything else in its proper place.
When God becomes your foundation, success doesn't define your worth.
Failure doesn't destroy your identity.
People's opinions don't control you.
And uncertainty doesn't have to rule your future.
Your life becomes anchored in something greater than changing circumstances.
So today, before you rush into everything demanding your attention, make room for God.
Talk to Him.
Listen through His Word.
Surrender your plans.
Ask Him to guide your priorities.
And then go into your day determined to honour Him in everything you do.
Don't give God what is left of your life. Give Him the first and best of your life.
What is one practical change you can make today to put God first?
