Seek ye the Kingdom of God first

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness." (Matthew 6:33)

The Pharisees of Christ' day were quite "religious" in their behavior,
but our Lord often took them to task because "all their works they do
for to be seen of men" (Matthew 23:5).
They loved the praises of men more than to glorify God.  They took the laws of men
and made them greater than the laws of God.  They made themselves
demi-gods, wanted to men to worship them before God. They
desire praise and power and worshiped their positions and esteemed themselves above all else.

God's Kingdom Is First Priority: The Lord's admonition in our text was
given to focus His followers beyond the "ordinary" desires and needs
of their physical existence. We are expected to "look not at the
things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the
things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18). As promised, when we are rightly
focused, "all these other things shall be added unto you" (Matthew
6:33)

Yielded to Righteousness: We become "servants" of those things that we
"obey." We obey that which we have "yielded" ourselves to (Romans
6:16). It is not possible to "serve two masters" (Matthew 6:24). Our
"members" (our physical bodies) can either become "instruments"
(weapons) of ungodliness or of righteousness (Romans 6:13). We either
"walk" after the Spirit or after the flesh (Romans 8:1).

Doggedly Pursue Godliness: "But thou, O man of God, flee these things;
and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience,
meekness" (1 Timothy 6:11). Even though our "new man" longs for
righteousness, and we consciously yield ourselves to seek and serve
God's kingdom, "with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with
the flesh the law of sin" (Romans 7:25).

We must never become slack in our diligence. "Let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall" (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Solomon asked God not for riches or power but simply wisdom to rule as God would desire him to.
Have you asked God to grant you wisdom in the work place?
Have you asked God to grant you wisdom in your marriage?
Have you asked God to grant you wisdom in raising your children?
Have you asked God to grant you wisdom in your ministry?
ITS Time, we seek God first and trust he will take care of the rest for us.
