My Mother Sought God’s Kingdom First

Published: May 7, 2020, 7 a.m.

From my mother quoting Matthew 6:33 to me and my six siblings over and over again, I learned the sacred principle of seeking God’s kingdom first, and I still firmly believe it today. God has gone on record saying that He will provide what you need. Granted, He does not promise riches or outrageous prosperity, but He will give you what you need to move forward in the work and life of His good kingdom. The Lord’s promises are many, and it’s our tragic loss if we fail to claim them. What are your needs? How are you seeking the Lord’s kingdom today? Are you in need of provision that only your Creator and Redeemer can give? Have you ever tasted the goodness of the Lord’s perfect provision? I want you to remember the example of my mother. She believed that as she sought the kingdom, God would respond as He promised and faithfully give whatever she needed. And our heavenly Father did it! My prayer for you is the same one I pray for myself. I pray that you may always turn to the Lord for every need you have, small or great. And I pray that you might experience the richness of His provision with the same depth of faith that I saw in my mother, Matilde Balfour de Palau. This is Luis Palau.
