KJV Matthew 6:31-6:34

{6:31} Therefore take no
thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we
drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? {6:32} (For
after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your
heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these
things. {6:33} But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his
righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
{6:34} Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the
morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient
unto the day [is] the evil thereof.


What is the kingdom of heaven we are to seek? What is he's righteous? I know we are to seek the holy spirit, I know that is part of it from having read other parts of the bible on this same subject.

Would Jesus be talking about Wisdom and Knowlege, such as reading the bible?

When you find anything that you've been seeking, you stop worrying that its missing. The kingdom of God, and his righteousness, is His provision for you, your salvation, which is 'at hand' for you to receive, and take hold of.
By it, you are made whole, which means you have nothing missing.
What is the evil thereof in today? The darkness is sufficiently evil in obscure your sight of your (pro)vision for today. It makes it harder to see it even though it is there, in your hand, but it can't stop you from seeking the light and walking thereby.
God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1Jn 1:5
The Light shines in darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Jn 1:4-5

Jesus revealed God to us as Father, as Father revealed Himself to us by Son. And Jesus tells us in Luke 12:32 within the context of not worrying, "“Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom."

The darkness would like you to think that your father has abandoned you, but you know better.

Mat 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Mat 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

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

Mat 6:10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

1Co 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?

We are to seek kingdom of God's ways and His righteousness.

Which have to do with representing goodness which is not a part time job.

Because a little leaven leavens the whole bunch.

If you are not willing to do that then God is not obligated to supply your needs.

Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Act 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.

1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

Jesus was telling those of Israel what they could expect when the earthly kingdom promised to Israel was established. This was prophesied for Israel, that they would be supernaturally changed and provided for.

Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake, although I was an husband unto them, saith the LORD:
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

How about reading to know Father and Son personally in the love provided through Son's done work for us all 1 John 2:1-27
I know it is not easy to love anyone that has done anyone wrong, even might do it again? I saw Romans 2:1-4 and I put my hand over my mouth and saw to not accuse, abuse or excuse myself or anyone else anymore. Thanks as I see Father works out everything well for each persons soul to believe, by free choice. God does simply love us all, otherwise Son would not have gone to the cross, he assuredly did not need to go there for any forgiveness himself did he?
