Read Matthew 6.I know I tend to draw attention to the order of events or the order of which things need to be done, especially when it comes to scripture, but it's important for us to understand that there's an order that we must FOLLOW. Take a closer look at Matthew 6:25-33.
This is a classic passage of scripture where Jesus is saying, "don't worry about the everyday things. I will take care of you." But, it's important that we "FIRST [note the order] seek the Kingdom of God." If we seek the Kingdom of God FIRST, then we don't need to worry about the everyday things in life. However, if that's not our top priority, there is plenty to worry about.
When it comes to FOLLOWING, order is important. If you put yourself first, you're not FOLLOWING. Positionally, think about where you are in relation to Christ. Are you ahead Him/where He wants you to be? Do you picture yourself walking side-by-side? Or, are you truly FOLOWING Him?
