Does it feel as though your life is full of unnecessary clutter? If so, you’re not alone. While you can find plenty of good advice about how to declutter your closet and your calendar, the best way to live a life focused on the essentials is to hear good news. Because of Jesus, we know where we are going. And once we know where we’re going, we’ll know what we need. This week Jesus helps us set clear priorities. With so much going on and so much demanding our attention, it’s vital that we know what’s most important. Jesus makes it clear. He tells us to seek first his kingdom. Far from that meaning a life where we’re stuck with less, it actually gives us more. As we seek first Jesus’ kingdom, Jesus promises to provide us with all we need for our bodily lives.
