Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matthew 6:33).
The principle that Jesus expressed in these words is the basic law that underlies all answer to prayer. Many people know this in theory but are confused about putting it into practice. They think, “I will ignore this problem and think about God instead.” Here there is a subtle mistake, because they are really thinking of their problem as existing in one place, of God as existing in another, and of themselves as going in thought from the first place to the second place. This, of course, is by implication to reaffirm the existence of the problem in its own place, and such a belief will not heal.
What we have to do is to seek the Kingdom in the very place where the trouble seems to be. We have to know that in Truth and reality it is not there, because God is there. When we succeed in doing this, the difficulty disappears.
This may sound like a distinction without a difference, but that is not so. By seeking the Kingdom of God where the trouble is, we affirm that God is king over all and not subject to being separated into a different place. The reason is simple; God is not limited by time or space. In the same way our secular lives are indivisible from our spiritual lives. So when we experience a problem in the secular world we should look for God’s presence in the midst of this problem wherein it is overcome.
Seeking God in all things,
