“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” — Matthew 6:33, NIV
The alarm blares each morning prompting you to get up out of bed and start your routine. You go from one task to the next, one responsibility to another until it's time, once again, to go to sleep and repeat the process the next day.
In today’s world, it is all too easy to fall into a routine of consuming busyness, each moment of our day being accounted for in some way or filled with some plan or task. At times, this may affect our relationship with God. We may notice that our busyness is preventing us from spending time in His word or prayer. Perhaps, our thoughts are altogether so distracted that we do not even consider this.
However, as Christians we should strive to make time for God in the busyness of life, as He should be our priority. Matthew 6:33 says “but seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” It may not always be easy to seek His kingdom first, especially when we are constantly on the go or have a packed schedule; however, it is definitely a worthwhile endeavor.
