“J.” The words which you have quoted are full of practical power: “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” We are to make the things of God our grand object, and He assures us that all our wants shall be attended to. But be it noted, we are not to seek “the kingdom of God,” &c., in order that. “all these things may be added.” This would be a fatal mistake indeed. If I give myself to the Lord's work, in order that my temporal wants may be supplied, I shall very speedily make shipwreck. But, on the other hand, if I make the Lord's work my paramount, object, my wants shall be perfectly met.
“Make you His service your delight,
Your wants shall be His care.”
