Mat 6:33
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

We are to seek the kingdom of the Most High.
We are to seek His righteousness.
If we do so, then “these things” will be added to you.

What are “these things”?
What does the first word “but” refer?

The immediate context of the verse provides insight.

Mat 6:25-34

“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

“Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

“And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

“And why are you worried about clothing?
Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin,

yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

“But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

“Do not worry then, saying,
‘What will we eat?’ or
‘What will we drink?’ or
‘What will we wear for clothing?’

“For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things;
for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you.

“So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself.
Each day has enough trouble of its own.

“These things” = drink, food, clothing, shelter.

Jesus tells us to be not anxious.
If we are anxious, then we are committing idolatry.

Be not anxious.
Do not worry.
Seek Him first in all things.

The Father knows what we need.
The Lord provides.
