Do you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness before every other thing? If so, then all these things shall be added to you. This is what Christ said, and He is a covenant-keeping God. For, the Lord says what He means and means what He says.
Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you - Matthew 6:31-33 (NKJV).
Introduction
God has no challenge granting your heart desires. And He actually knows that you have need of those things. However, He doesn't want you to seek those things first, but the kingdom of God and His righteousness. For when you do as He instructed, automatically, the things you desire are added to you.
All These Things Shall Be Added To You
Truly, God is a covenant-keeping God. So, once you fulfil your part, His part is automatically fulfilled too. This is why He said you should not worry about what to eat, drink or wear, and focus on God's kingdom. Unfortunately, many people lack understanding of this, and so spend all their time seeking the wrong things; yet, they are never satisfied. And 'all these things' include all those things you desire, there are no exceptions. In addition, you're not to ponder on how the Lord will do it, yours is to just believe and it's done.
