"The Key"

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."  Matthew 6:33

 

The word key has many definitions.  One definition is: a thing that provides a means of gaining access to or understanding something.  The synonyms for this definition are:  answer, clue, solution, explanation.  There are keys (answers) to problems, situations, life's challenges, encounters, etc., all around us.  Such as:  the key to happiness is...; the key to a good marriage is...; the key of victory is...; and so on.

 

God gives us one key that is the answer to all of our problems, all of our relationships, all the blessings, to happiness, joy, wisdom, whatever we need He has one key that is the solution for it all.  The key is found in the verse above.

 

When we seek first the Lord, all that we need is provided.  If we need direction, seek Him first the direction we need will be there for us.  If we need wisdom, seek Him first, and wisdom will be added to us.  If we need strength, seek the Lord first and we will gain strength. 

 

We are trying to find all of our answers in external things, in people, in material things, in our own reasoning, in education, in philosophy, in temporary things.  But if we will lay that aside and seek the Lord first, above all these others, then we now have the key to unlock all of our answers.  God is faithful to His Word and when we apply this Word, the promise attached to it will be given us. 

 

Have a great day.  Do you need an answer?  That answer/key is to seek the Lord first and then your answer will come.
