Therefore, I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body. He brings it to the very simple terms. Eat, drink wear and almost everything else you are thinking about is connect to these three basic things. Even career, marriage, everything is connected with these three. If I marry that man can I eat better,

wear better. Everything fundamental for an average man, woman. So, Jesus makes it very simple. Do not worry about your life. All these young girls are laughing. If you think I do not know what goes in their minds when they are thinking about their future. Girls’ worries are different from a man’s worry. So, God says, “Therefore I say to you do not worry about your life what you will eat, what you will drink, nor about your body what you will put on, is not life more than food and body more than clothing.” So, I have come to give you life. So, you have to go and see what Jesus talks about life. What is life? For the average man, life is connected with the temporal. It is absolutely connected with the temporal and then in verse 32 and 33 He says

Matthew 6:32-33

32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

For after all these things the Gentiles seek. So, if the primary objective in your life is broadly connected with this, he says, “You may be a child of God but you are no better than a gentile.” Because gentiles, meaning the people who are alienated from the life of God seek these things but Your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. For God says, “You have a Father and the Father knows you need all these temporal things. He knows you need all these things but this is what Your Father wants, Your Father wants you to think about life at a completely different higher level.” Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things which you are so concerned and worried about He says will be added.” God says, “You know what, you see these things, let Me add these things.” But usually we seek the things which God is supposed to add and therefore we miss everything. We actually miss out on life and the problem here is which man needs to understand through the wise man, the wise fool called Solomon. God puts eternity into our hearts, you cannot escape it. That is why all these people who ran after money or name or popularity, after they achieve it, are empty and miserable, including Solomon. Why do they keep saying, life is so empty? Why do they? Any field if you look at it, it’s because we are not meant for the temporal. We were meant for the eternal and the eternal is signified there as the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God is forever and ever and God says, “Seek that first.” He says, “If you seek that first and His righteousness.” There’s a difference there. There are three primary kind of righteousness. There’s a righteousness that comes by the law – that is a righteousness of religion. There is a righteousness that comes by self – that is self- righteousness. There is a righteousness of God that comes by faith and faith alone. So, the qualifications are there very clear – seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. It’s a very powerful verse, very, very powerful verse. Life changing verse and you have to read it carefully, slowly. Seek ye first! Not second, not just on a Sunday. Seek ye first, priority in your life. Seek ye first. All these things shall be added unto you. I have come to give you life and don’t miss understand life, children of God, children of the heavenly Father, don’t live life like gentiles – what to eat, what to drink, what to wear. Don’t live in the temporal. Instead seek the eternal and the righteousness that comes by faith alone and you will suddenly realize, God is doing the adding. If you turn to Matthew 16:24-25
