Seek First the Kingdom
← Back to AlbumAbout This Song
“Seek First the Kingdom” is a reflective song that emphasizes the importance of prioritizing God’s kingdom in our lives. Inspired by Matthew 6:33, which instructs believers to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, this song encourages listeners to trust in God’s provision and guidance.
The first verse, “In the quiet place, where I seek Your face; All my worries fade, in Your embrace,” sets a serene tone, inviting believers to find peace and focus in God’s presence. The chorus, “Seek first the kingdom, and His righteousness; All these things will be added to you,” reiterates the promise that when we prioritize God’s kingdom, He will take care of our needs.
The second verse, “In the daily grind, help me keep in mind; Your kingdom’s call, and leave the world behind,” speaks to the challenges of maintaining a kingdom-focused mindset amidst the busyness of life. This verse draws inspiration from Colossians 3:2, which urges believers to set their minds on things above, not on earthly things.
The bridge, “Not my will but Yours, be done on earth; In my heart, let Your kingdom birth,” emphasizes the surrender of our will to God’s purposes, echoing the prayer of Jesus in Matthew 6:10. “Seek First the Kingdom” serves as both a personal reminder and a corporate call to align our lives with God’s priorities, making it a powerful and introspective track for worship and reflection.
Worship Devotion
Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, promising that all other things will be added to us. “Seek First the Kingdom” challenges us to prioritize God’s kingdom above all else.
Reflect on what it means to seek God’s kingdom first. It involves aligning our desires with His will, prioritizing His purposes over our own. Colossians 3:1-2 encourages us to set our hearts and minds on things above, not on earthly things. This shift in focus requires intentionality and daily surrender.
Consider the practical ways to seek God’s kingdom. It starts with spending time in His presence through prayer and worship. Psalm 27:4 expresses a deep desire to dwell in the house of the Lord and gaze upon His beauty. Cultivate a heart that longs for His presence.
Obedience is another crucial aspect of seeking God’s kingdom. James 1:22-25 urges us to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. Let God’s Word guide your decisions and actions, even when it challenges your comfort zones.
Trusting in God’s provision is essential. Matthew 6:25-34 reassures us that God knows our needs and will provide for us as we focus on His kingdom. Release your worries and anxieties to Him, trusting in His faithfulness.
Prayer:
Lord, help me to seek Your kingdom above all else. Align my desires with Your will and guide my steps. Teach me to trust in Your provision and live in obedience to Your Word. May my life reflect Your kingdom priorities. Amen.

In the quiet place, where I seek Your face
All my worries fade, in Your embrace
With a heart surrendered, I bow my knee

Seek first the kingdom, and His righteousness
All these things will be added to you
Seek first the kingdom, and His righteousness
Let Your will be done, in everything I do

In the daily grind, help me keep in mind
Your kingdom’s call, and leave the world behind
With my eyes on You, and my faith so true

Not my will but Yours, be done on earth
In my heart, let Your kingdom birth
In every step I take, let Your Spirit lead

All these things will be added to you
Seek first the kingdom, and His righteousness
Let Your will be done, in everything I do
