Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God

3 Nephi 13:33

But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.

I keep coming back to this scripture over and over again. We do not spend enough time in life seeking God. He created the Heavens and the Earth, surely he can provide for his children.

We get caught up in the daily pursuits of life. We have work and bills and school and sports and this and that and everything. So many of those pursuits are worthwhile and help us grow, but how many are of an eternal nature? How many help us grow closer to God? We need to spend more time in the scriptures and on our knees. If we do, God will provide for our needs and open the pathways before us. If it were not so, He would have told us. (John 14:2) Let us be more faithful and trust that the Lord will provide for our needs as we seek to do his work first.
