Read Me
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
Matthew 6:33

In the early days of software development, PC-oriented software packages would normally come with a text document titled "READ ME." This was a document that explained anything the installer needed to know about installation, late changes to the software that didn't make it into the manual, system requirements, or possible incompatibility issues. In other words, READ ME first--before installing the software--in order to avoid problems.
Listen to Today's Radio Message ( davidjeremiah.org )
God's READ ME file is in Matthew 6:33: "Seek first the kingdom of God." All who aspire to enter and dwell in the kingdom of God need to know this: If you will put God and His kingdom first in your life's priorities, everything else necessary in life will be added to you. The inverse can be assumed to be true: Seek your own glory and authority in this life and you will find God's blessings absent.
If you want to avoid worries with your software, read the READ ME file first. If you want to avoid worries in your life, seek God's kingdom first and above all else. If you find yourself worrying about anything today, you'll know something has taken the place of the kingdom of God.
Worry is an indication that we think God cannot look after us.
