Have you noticed throughout scripture that God gives promises to His people? Have you noticed that when God gives a promise He does not mess around? God is not a liar like man, and He does not change His mind based on how he feels. The promise in the passage above is to seek the kingdom of God above all else, and He will give you everything you need.
Before God can give you everything you need, there is a part that you have to play.
Our part is to seek God with all of our hearts, soul, mind and strength. Our part is to have faith in God to love him and give Him Lordship in every way. Our part is to get to know God and earnestly desire to make Him known everywhere. The kingdom of God consists of laying our lives down for the sake of the gospel. The kingdom is love and power through the Holy Spirit. Grace and forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. Mercy and truth through the Father.
He will give us everything we need. He didn't say everything we want. A big difference. You have everything you need if you have sought the kingdom above all else. That is certain. Focus on what He has given you, not on what you lack. If you lack, then simply ask yourself...is there any area in my life where I am not seeking the kingdom of God above all else? He is kind and compassionate, gracious and longing to give to you. Don't delay, give your whole heart to Him. You will not be disappointed.
Dude, good stuff! Keep it up!
