Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Matthew vi. 33.
An illustration of the meaning of this passage of Scripture is given in John, the sixth chapter, where Jesus, after feeding the multitude, reproves them for looking more to what had seemingly been gained of worldly satisfaction, through the miracle of the loaves, than to spiritual good.
Just so is it at this time, with some who would be healed and taught by the Master. The care for worldly riches is so great in belief, that the command to "seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness" seems to be lost sight of, and the true idea of Life and its requirements utterly gone.
