Seek First Jesus’ Righteousness
Meditate
On
| 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 |
I encourage you to take some time each day to get the revelation of
your righteousness in Christ deep into your spirit. Meditate on it and
declare it every day. It will put courage in your heart and bring an
unshakable peace to your soul. It will energize your faith when you pray
and give you a confident expectation to receive good things from your
heavenly Father.
I believe that’s why our heavenly Father, in knowing the things that we need daily, tells us not to worry about them. What are we supposed to do then? We are to seek first “His [Jesus’] righteousness”—the righteousness that He has given us—and all the things that we need will be added to us.
Beloved, when you know that your right standing with God always puts Him on your side, every fear will melt away like butter on a hot day. For if God is for you, who or what can successfully prevail against you?
