Some believers face poverty or persecution despite seeking God’s kingdom first.
Matthew 6:33 isn’t an absolute promise of provision or long life but a call to trust God’s sovereignty. He often provides, sometimes supernaturally, but when He doesn’t, His higher purposes prevail.
Security lies in God working all things for our eternal good (Romans 8:28-39), not always physical blessings. Suffering may be necessary for spiritual growth or to leave this life (Philippians 1:21).
Matthew 6:33 is a general principle, not a guarantee of earthly provision. God’s plan is eternal, and His goodness ensures our ultimate good.
