Seek you first

Matthew 6:25–34: “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”


Seek you first
©3-30-09 Hannah Muonio

Don’t I care for the fields and the flowers?
Don’t I tend to the birds in their flight?
Don’t I bring in the changes of seasons?
Don’t I faithfully turn day and night?

I know your need
before you ask of Me

So seek you first My kingdom
Seek you first My righteousness
Knock on My door
Ask at My feet
And this and much more will be given

Don’t I hear every prayer of My people?
Don’t I promise you mercy and life?
Don’t I exalt the humble with singing?
Don’t I carry through ease and through strife?

Don’t I joyfully clothe you with glory?
Don’t I love you with fullness and fire?
Don’t I lift you from valleys to mountains?
Don’t I give you your deepest desire?

I know your need
before you ask of Me

So seek you first My kingdom
Seek you first My righteousness
Knock on My door
Ask at My feet
And this and much more will be given

With faith draw near Me
With faith receive My love

And seek you first My kingdom
Seek you first My righteousness
Knock on My door
Ask at My feet
And this and much more will be given
