Thought for the Week
from Anglican Mothers Union Australia
Sunday 28th April
Seek first God’s Kingdom
‘But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness,
and all these things will be given to you as well’.
(Matthew 6:33)
Jesus has just taught his disciples to pray first and foremost that God
will hallow his name and that his kingdom will come,
that his will may be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Only then do they ask God concerning their physical needs for food and spiritual
need of forgiveness and protection from evil (see Matthew 6:9-13).
Now he contrasts the way of the world, with its ceaseless hurry to obtain riches,
with the way of life of the disciple. Our business is to seek the kingdom first.
God’s kingdom is his rule, and to seek his kingdom is to trust him
and to make it our first aim in life to please him.
We are to do his will every day, conscious of his promise to care for us.
Question for thought: What is the aim of my life?
Gracious Lord, we pray for members in the Diocese of Muhabura in Uganda as they seek
to be faithful to your word and promote Christian family
values through their parenting program, prison ministry,
and hospital visitation so they can support stable family life.
We also pray for the Diocese of the Northern Territory
so that they will be able to continue to witness to God’s love. Amen.
