Seek First…

As I’ve been reading my Bible the past two mornings, I have been going over Matthew 6:25-33. In light of my last post, it is something I am needing to learn right now. I didn’t go looking for that passage, as so often happens, it just happened to be the next chapter as I’ve been reading through Matthew and it ended up being very applicable to my current situation. 
But, I did go back and revisit it yesterday and I kept coming back to this phrase:

But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness 

I’ve read that countless times, heard people talk about it, even sang about it but I’ve never really thought much about how to actually do it.

How do you seek first his kingdom and righteousness?

I don’t know. I think I have an idea, there are all kinds of things I can do, good works, reading my Bible, praying, etc. But is that really what “seeking first his kingdom and righteousness” means?

I’ve got questions, time to look for answers.
