Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." — Matthew 6:33 (ASV)
Seek God first and the rest will follow in due course. As for “all these things,” you will not need to seek them. They will be thrown in as a matter of course. God who gives you heaven will not deny you your bread on the road there. The kingdom of God and the righteousness suitable to that kingdom—seek these first and foremost, and then all that you can possibly need shall be your portion.
To promote the reign of Christ and to practice righteousness are but one object and may that be the one aim of our lives! Let us spend life on the one thing and it will be well spent. As for the twenty secondary objects, they also will be ours if we pursue the one thing only.
