Jesus said, ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be open to you. (Matthew chapter 7 verse 7). Jesus said, when we seek after the things of the Kingdom of God, then all other things (the necessities of life) shall be given to us.
God wants us to focus on his Kingdom, and those matters related to His Kingdom. He promises us that when we do He will make sure we receive the necessities of life, such as food, clothing, employment, etc., as well as, spiritual blessings, such as peace, joy, wisdom, love, mercy, gentle spirit, grace, etc.
The three number one matters of the Kingdom of God are love, mercy, and justice. God wants us to love at all times. He wants us to show mercy where mercy is not deserved. He wants us to enforce justice where justice is warranted.
As we carry out the matters of the Kingdom of God, He will supply us with our needs, as well as extra blessings.
Amen.
