but first

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.
— Matthew 6:33 (NKJV)
 
Life has a way of becoming complicated without us even noticing. Schedules fill. Expectations pile up. Responsibilities compete for our attention. Before long, our days feel crowded—not just on our calendars, but in our hearts.
Simplicity isn’t about doing less for the sake of doing less. It’s about choosing what matters most and letting everything else fall into its proper place.
Jesus modeled this kind of life. He wasn’t hurried. He wasn’t distracted by noise or pressure. Even when crowds gathered and needs surrounded Him, His focus remained clear—on the Father and on love.
When we choose simplicity, we aren’t ignoring our responsibilities. We’re aligning them. We’re remembering that our worth isn’t found in how much we accomplish, but in who we belong to.
Sometimes faith looks like saying no.
Sometimes it looks like slowing down.
Sometimes it looks like returning to the basics—prayer, trust, obedience.
In a world that pulls us in a hundred directions, simplicity gently brings us back to center.
Today, ask yourself:
What is God inviting me to release?
What is He asking me to keep?
Because when we seek Him first, everything else finds its place—and peace has room to settle in.
