First Means First

In the gospels, Jesus taught us to seek FIRST the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness.....First! Before our desires, plans, goals, pleasures, opportunities, inclinations, leanings, giftings, etc.. Why do we know what first means in every other context, but get confused when it comes to this? Then of course the promise to those who live that way flows like a steady river through the days of their life that all that they need for life shall be added unto them. It is that simple, but for so many it is so, so hard.
