Luke 12:31 KJV
But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.
The Lord places this very real contrast that is to exist between those of the world and those who are believers;
• Worldings seek after earthly treasures and
• Believers seek after heavenly ones
This is not to say that this contrast is hugely observable in modern Christianity. In fact the distinction has been completely skewed in American Christianity where we think seeking Christ is the way to gain earthly treasures. Those who truly attempt to seek the kingdom of God and allow God to add to their lives their daily necessities as He sees fit are so out of the normal they are generally looked upon as abnormal.
It must become the Christian to unplug from such worldliness and poor himself into the otherworldly. If we are going to reclaim biblical Christian faith we must seek not just "first" but "only" the kingdom of God.
