Pursue RighteousnessSample

Seek Christ.

“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Seek Christ. Seek His Kingdom. Seek His righteousness. Seek His wisdom. Seek His way and blueprint. His Word is His way. His Word is His blueprint. Let His Word guide your way.

The Amplified Version expounds upon Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ in the following manner, “But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.” Aim after Christ’s way of doing things and live righteously.

The New Living Translation puts it this way, “Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.” Matthew‬ ‭6:33‬ ‭NLT‬‬. Seek God above all else. For Proverbs‬ ‭3:6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ declares, “Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.”

Pattern your life after His Word. “Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.” 1 Chronicles‬ ‭16:11‬ ‭NLT‬‬. Continually seek Christ. Submit to Him. Surrender to His Word.
