Matthew 6:33 emphasizes that when we make God’s kingdom our main pursuit, He will faithfully provide for our needs.

Devotional

Life often fills us with anxieties about the future or pressures to pursue wealth, success, and security. But Jesus calls us to focus first on spiritual growth, godly living, and serving others. When we place our trust in God’s provision and make Him our first priority, He promises to meet our needs in ways we may not expect but can always rely on. This shift in focus brings freedom from worry and helps us live with confidence, knowing God is faithful.
