GOD IS SO GOD, ISN'T HE!
I pity anyone who doesn't believe. You just don't know what you are missing. The real peace, real life, life in Jesus Christ.

To me this scripture means that if my main priority is to have a better relationship with God, be more Christ-like and have a heart to save souls then naturally God will bless me and take care of my needs and desires.
Basically it is saying that if we want to be blessed we need to get our priorities right. God knows our heart.

Seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness to me means:
Preaching and believing that God's kingdom is the only government that will provide solution to all mankind. It is like Jerusalem, the ancient city of David, at the time when Solomon ruled it.
That means the preaching activity is no. 1 priority over all other activities.
When one does that--making God's kingdom no.1--then God will supply all other needs

Believe in god and you wont have to make any hard choices in life.
Why does the religious sect always go with the King James version? It is from a time when English was spoken different and some words have an opposite meaning today than they did during that time.Jesus and his Middle Eastern followers didn't speak Old English and it doesn't make you sound more holy than the person reading the modern Bible.

Thank You and AMEN! Verse 33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all of his rightousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." It is a BEAUTIFUL promise of God to us. In Verse 34 "Take therefor no thoughnt for the morrow, for the morrow shll take thought for things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." We do not have to fear! WOW! What an Awsome Lord we searve.
Take Care - God Bless!

Not much. The bible is just a collections of conglomerate musings of starving shepherds living in the middle east 2000 + or - years ago. The bible has been copied, recopied, miss copied, added to and subtracted from as whoever thought might wish to do so. The gospel according to St. Philip was left out because jesus was portrayed as a vengeful little five year old that could kill people.... ahhhh not nice, so it's not in there now. The bible has to do with the more or less history of one tribe, the tribe of Israel, and there were other tribes, with their own holy books some of which made it into the bible.... so, no , it means little..... sorry.

It is from the Sermon on the Mount.
Jesus was telling us to not spend all of our time or even the main part of it seeking material things, but rather to seek a good relationship with God, and to try to be righteous like God, and He tells us that if we succeed the material things will be taken care of.

When we seek God first in all matters of life, and do things according to His will, His way, God will take care of us.

Seek God's will and purpose and do THAT, and all the things in this life will be added.
