Matthew 6:34

"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."

Key Reflection

In Matthew 6:34, Jesus advises his followers not to be overly anxious about tomorrow's concerns, urging them instead to focus on seeking God’s Kingdom and His righteousness first. This teaching reflects the Jewish concept of trust in divine providence, emphasizing that when one places their trust firmly in God, He will provide for all other needs as well.
