A PRICELESS PROMISE
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteous, and all these things shall be added unto you” – Matt.6:33
The week before last I started my message by asking “Are you concerned about your future?” Then last week I again alluded to that question. Well, I’m not through yet – “Are you concerned about your future?” If we’re honest we will all answer in the affirmative. While we might not be looking miles down the road, we are probably wondering about tomorrow – or maybe even later today. Thankfully this is a subject our Lord addresses (Matt.6:34), and He gives us good reason to not be anxious.
Here we find one of our Lord’s most precious promises. It’s a promise that will calm those who are distraught, cheer those who are depressed, and give courage to those who feel defeated. It is a promise that nobody but God could make. But it is conditional.
Before we can claim the promise we must meet the condition, which is – “seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness.” Do that and everything else falls into place. We can rest assured that God, who cannot lie, will keep His commitments to those who meet His conditions. Those who care for the things of God will be cared for by God who gives them the things they need. This is a priceless promise in that it can produce perfect peace for perplexed people. When we place our problems into God’s hands, He puts His peace in our hearts! – HDS
