Text: Matthew 6:33

Matthew 6:33 But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Speaker: Pastor Dee Kelley
Scripture Readings:
Solomon 3:1-9
Psalm 24
Revelation 21:1-6a
Matthew 6:25-33

Scripture Texts:Solomon 3:1 Night after night on my bed

I looked for the man I love.

I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.

2 “I will get up now and roam the city,

through the streets and the open places,

I will look for the man I love.”

I looked for him, but I didn’t find him.

3 The guards roaming the city found me.

“Have you seen the man I love?”

4 Scarcely had I left them,

when I found the man I love.

I took hold of him

and would not let him go

until I had brought him to my mother’s house,

to the bedroom of the woman who conceived me.

5 I warn you, daughters of Yerushalayim,

by the gazelles and deer in the wilds,

not to awaken or stir up love

until it wants to arise!

6 Who is this, coming up from the desert

like a column of smoke,

perfumed with myrrh and frankincense,

chosen from the merchant’s crushed spices?

7 It is Shlomo’s litter,

escorted by sixty valiant men

chosen from Isra’el’s finest;

8 all of them wield the sword

and are expert fighters;

each one has his sword ready at his side

to combat the terrors of night.

9 King Shlomo made himself a royal litter

of wood from the L’vanon.

Psalm 24:1 (0) By David. A psalm:

(1) The earth is Adonai’s, with all that is in it,

the world and those who live there;

2 for he set its foundations on the seas

and established it on the rivers.

3 Who may go up to the mountain of Adonai?

Who can stand in his holy place?

4 Those with clean hands and pure hearts,

who don’t make vanities the purpose of their lives

or swear oaths just to deceive.

5 They will receive a blessing from Adonai

and justice from God, who saves them.

6 Such is the character of those who seek him,

of Ya‘akov, who seeks your face. (Selah)

7 Lift up your heads, you gates!

Lift them up, everlasting doors,

so that the glorious king can enter!

8 Who is he, this glorious king?

Adonai, strong and mighty,

Adonai, mighty in battle.

9 Lift up your heads, you gates!

Lift them up, everlasting doors,

so that the glorious king can enter!

10 Who is he, this glorious king?

Adonai-Tzva’ot —

he is the glorious king. (Selah)

Revelation 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,[Revelation 21:1 Isaiah 65:17, 66:22] for the old heaven and the old earth had passed away, and the sea was no longer there. 2 Also I saw the holy city, New Yerushalayim, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 I heard a loud voice from the throne say, “See! God’s Sh’khinah is with mankind, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and he himself, God-with-them, will be their God.[Revelation 21:3 Leviticus 26:11–12; Isaiah 7:14; 8:8, 10; Jeremiah 31:33(34); Ezekiel 37:27; 2 Chronicles 6:18] 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There will no longer be any death; and there will no longer be any mourning, crying or pain; because the old order has passed away.”

5 Then the One sitting on the throne said, “Look! I am making everything new!” Also he said, “Write, ‘These words are true and trustworthy!’” 6 And he said to me, “It is done! I am the ‘A’ and the ‘Z,’ the Beginning and the End. To anyone who is thirsty I myself will give water free of charge from the Fountain of Life.

Matthew 6:25 “Therefore, I tell you, don’t worry about your life — what you will eat or drink; or about your body — what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds flying about! They neither plant nor harvest, nor do they gather food into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you worth more than they are? 27 Can any of you by worrying add a single hour to his life?

28 “And why be anxious about clothing? Think about the fields of wild irises, and how they grow. They neither work nor spin thread, 29 yet I tell you that not even Shlomo in all his glory was clothed as beautifully as one of these. 30 If this is how God clothes grass in the field — which is here today and gone tomorrow, thrown in an oven — won’t he much more clothe you? What little trust you have!

31 “So don’t be anxious, asking, ‘What will we eat?,’ ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘How will we be clothed?’ 32 For it is the pagans who set their hearts on all these things. Your heavenly Father knows you need them all. 33 But seek first his Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

John Wesley's Notes-Commentary for Solomon 3:1-9

Verse 1

[1] By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

By night — When others compose themselves to sleep, my affections were working towards him.

I sought — I sought for Christ's gracious and powerful presence.

I sought — This repetition denotes her perseverance and unweariedness in seeking him.

Found him not — For he had withdrawn the manifestations of his love from me, either because I had not sought him diligently, or because I had abused his favour.

Verse 2

[2] I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

The city — The city of God, the church in which Christ resides.

Broadways — Not finding him in private prayer, and meditation, I sought him in the places of public assemblies and ordinances.

Found not — He saw fit still to delay the discoveries of his grace.

Verse 3

[3] The watchmen that go about the city found me: to whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

The watch-men — The ministers of Christ, and rulers of the church.

Go about — To prevent disorders and dangers.

Him — She does not name him, because she thought it needless, as supposing a person of such transcendent excellency could not be unknown to men in that capacity. Their answer is not mentioned, either because they gave her no satisfactory answer, or because by their silence she gathered that they were unable to inform her; and being eager in the pursuit, she would not lose time.

Verse 4

[4] It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.

Found him — Christ met me, and manifested his love to me.

Mother's house — As the spouse here, signifies particular believers, so her mother is the universal church, or the true Jerusalem, which hath its rise from above, which is the mother of us all, Galatians 4:26, in which Christ and believers are united, and have sweet communion together in holy ordinances, into which believers are said to bring Christ, by faith and prayer.

Conceived me — Christ is as it were the father that begets, and the church the mother that conceives and brings forth believers.

Verse 6

[6] Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

Who — The persons speaking seem to be the daughters of Jerusalem, who upon occasion of the bride's speech to them, make this reply. The person spoken of is the spouse.

Wilderness — Believers were to be called, not only out of the holy land, which was as the garden of God, but also out of the Gentile-world, which in prophetical writings is frequently described under the notion of a wilderness.

Pillars — Being conducted out of the wilderness as by a pillar of smoak going before them, as the Israelites were led through the wilderness to Canaan, by a pillar of cloud and fire.

Perfumed — The spouse is said to be thus perfumed, for her excellent virtues and religious services which are pleasant and acceptable to God, and for the merits and graces of Christ, which are a sweet savour to God, wherewith she is enriched and beautified.

Of merchants — Which are fetched by the merchants from Arabia, or other remote parts.

Verse 7

[7] Behold his bed, which is Solomon's; threescore valiant men are about it, of the valiant of Israel.

Behold — The bride-men continue their speech, and from the admiration of the bride, proceed to the admiration of the bridegroom.

Bed — The bed seems to denote the church, which is comely through Christ's beauty, and safe by his protection, in which Christ is glorified, and believers enjoy sweet fellowship with him.

Solomon's — Which is the bed, not of an ordinary man, but of a great king, whom Solomon typifies, and who is greater than Solomon.

Threescore — Very many, the certain number being put for an uncertain. He alludes to Solomon's guard, whereby he designs all those creatures, whether angels, princes, ministers, or others, whose ministry God uses for the protection of his church.

Verse 8

[8] They all hold swords, being expert in war: every man hath his sword upon his thigh because of fear in the night.

Every man — Is prepared and ready to fight, to prevent those dangers which are frequent in the night season. The night may denote the whole time of this life, which may well be called night in respect of that ignorance and error wherewith it is attended, (as the future life is compared to day) this life being the only time wherein such a guard is necessary.

Verse 9

[9] King Solomon made himself a chariot of the wood of Lebanon.

A chariot — In which the royal bridegroom and bride might ride together in state. By this chariot he seems to understand the word of Christ dispensed by his ministers, whereby Christ rides triumphantly in the world, and believers are carried into heavenly glory.

Of Lebanon — Of cedars, which wood being incorruptible, doth fitly signify the word of the gospel, which endureth forever, 1 Peter 1:25.

Psalm 24
Verse 2
[2] For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods.
Seas — The whole collection of waters, as well as the sea and the rivers running into it, as that great abyss of waters which is contained in the bowels of the earth.
Verse 3
[3] Who shall ascend into the hill of the LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place?
The hill — Zion or Moriah, the place of God's sanctuary and special presence. Having asserted God's dominion over all mankind, he now proposes an important question, by whom God will be served, and his blessing enjoyed? Stand - To minister before him. Standing is the posture of ministers or servants. Who shall serve God, with God's acceptation.
Holy place — In the place which he hath sanctified for his service.
Verse 4
[4] He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully.
He — Whose actions and conversation are holy and unblameable.
Pure heart — Careful to approve itself to God, as well as to men; ordering a man's very thoughts and affections according to God's word.
Vanity — Who doth not value or desire the vain things of this life, such as honours, riches, pleasures; but makes God his portion.
Verse 5
[5] He shall receive the blessing from the LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
The blessing — Grace and glory, and all other good things.
Verse 6
[6] This is the generation of them that seek him, that seek thy face, O Jacob. /*Selah*/.
The generation — The true progeny which God regards.
Face — His grace and favour, which is often called God's face.
Verse 7
[7] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Lift up — He speaks here of the gates and doors of the temple, which by faith and the spirit of prophecy, he beheld as already built, whose doors he calls Everlasting, not so much because they were made of strong and durable materials, as in opposition to those of the tabernacle, which were removed from place to place. These gates he bids lift up their heads, or tops, by allusion to those gates which have a portcullis, which may be let down or taken up. And as the temple was a type of Christ, and of his church, and of heaven itself; so this place may also contain a representation, either of Christ's entrance into his church, or into the hearts of his faithful people, who are here commanded to set open their hearts and souls for his reception: or of his ascension into heaven, where the saints or angels are poetically introduced as preparing the way, and opening the heavenly gates to receive their Lord and king, returning to his royal habitation with triumph and glory.
The king — The Messiah, the king of Israel, and of his church, called the King, or Lord of glory, 1 Corinthians 2:8; James 2:1, both for that glory which is inherent in him, and that which is purchased by him for his members.
Verse 8
[8] Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
The Lord — He is no ordinary person, no other than Jehovah, who hath given so many proofs of his almightiness, who hath subdued all his enemies, and is now returned in triumph.
Verse 9
[9] Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.
Lift up — The same verse is repeated again, to awaken the dulness of mankind, who are so hardly brought to a serious preparation for such solemnities; and to signify the great importance of the matter, contained under these expressions.
Verse 10
[10] Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. /*Selah*/.
Of hosts — Under whose command are all the hosts of heaven and earth, angels and men, and all other creatures.

Revelation 21:1-6a

Verse 1

[1] And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

And I saw — So it runs, Revelation 19:11; 20:1,4,11, in a succession. All these several representations follow one another in order: so the vision reaches into eternity.

A new heaven and a new earth — After the resurrection and general judgment. St. John is not now describing a flourishing state of the church, but a new and eternal state of all things.

For the first heaven and the first earth — Not only the lowest part of heaven, not only the solar system, but the whole ethereal heaven, with all its host, whether of planets or fixed stars, Isaiah 34:4; Matthew 24:29. All the former things will be done away, that all may become new, verses 4,5; 2 Peter 3:10,12.

Are passed away — But in the fourth verse it is said, "are gone away." There the stronger word is used; for death, mourning, and sorrow go away all together: the former heaven and earth only pass away, giving place to the new heaven and the new earth.

Verse 2

[2] And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I saw the holy city — The new heaven, the new earth, and the new Jerusalem, are closely connected. This city is wholly new, belonging not to this world, not to the millennium, but to eternity. This appears from the series of the vision, the magnificence of the description, and the opposition of this city to the second death, Revelation 20:11,12; 21:1; 2,5,8,9; 22:5.

Coming down — In the very act of descending.

Verse 3

[3] And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

They shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God — So shall the covenant between God and his people be executed in the most glorious manner.

Verse 4

[4] And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And death shall be no more — This is a full proof that this whole description belongs not to time, but eternity.

Neither shall sorrow, or crying, or pain, be any more: for the former things are gone away — Under the former heaven, and upon the former earth, there was death and sorrow, crying and pain; all which occasioned many tears: but now pain and sorrow are fled away, and the saints have everlasting life and joy.

Verse 5

[5] And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

And he that sat upon the throne said — Not to St. John only. From the first mention of "him that sat upon the throne," Revelation 4:2, this is the first speech which is expressly ascribed to him.

And he — The angel.

Saith to me Write — As follows.

These sayings are faithful and true — This includes all that went before. The apostle seems again to have ceased writing, being overcome with ecstasy at the voice of him that spake.

Verse 6

[6] And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

And he — That sat upon the throne.

Said to me, It is done — All that the prophets had spoken; all that was spoken, Revelation 4:1. We read this expression twice in this prophecy: first, Revelation 16:17, at the fulfilling of the wrath of God; and here, at the making all things new.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end — The latter explains the former: the Everlasting.

I will give to him that thirsteth — The Lamb saith the same, Revelation 22:17.

Matthew 6:25-33

Verse 25

[25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

And if you serve God, you need be careful for nothing.

Therefore take not thought — That is, be not anxiously careful. Beware of worldly cares; for these are as inconsistent with the true service of God as worldly desires.

Is not the life more than meat? — And if God give the greater gift, will he deny the smaller? Luke 12:22.

Verse 27

[27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And which of you — If you are ever so careful, can even add a moment to your own life thereby? This seems to be far the most easy and natural sense of the words.

Verse 29

[29] And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these — Not in garments of so pure a white. The eastern monarchs were often clothed in white robes.

Verse 30

[30] Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

The grass of the field — is a general expression, including both herbs and flowers.

Into the still — This is the natural sense of the passage. For it can hardly be supposed that grass or flowers should be thrown into the oven the day after they were cut down. Neither is it the custom in the hottest countries, where they dry fastest, to heat ovens with them.

If God so clothe — The word properly implies, the putting on a complete dress, that surrounds the body on all sides; and beautifully expresses that external membrane, which (like the skin in a human body) at once adorns the tender fabric of the vegetable, and guards it from the injuries of the weather. Every microscope in which a flower is viewed gives a lively comment on this text.

Verse 31

[31] Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Therefore take not thought — How kind are these precepts! The substance of which is only this, Do thyself no harm! Let us not be so ungrateful to him, nor so injurious to ourselves, as to harass and oppress our minds with that burden of anxiety, which he has so graciously taken off. Every verse speaks at once to the understanding, and to the heart. We will not therefore indulge these unnecessary, these useless, these mischievous cares. We will not borrow the anxieties and distresses of the morrow, to aggravate those of the present day. Rather we will cheerfully repose ourselves on that heavenly Father, who knows we have need of these things; who has given us the life, which is more than meat, and the body, which is more than raiment. And thus instructed in the philosophy of our heavenly Master, we will learn a lesson of faith and cheer. fulness from every bird of the air, and every flower of the field.

Verse 33

[33] But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness — Singly aim at this, that God, reigning in your heart, may fill it with the righteousness above described. And indeed whosoever seeks this first, will soon come to seek this only.

Verse 34

[34] Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

The morrow shall take thought for itself — That is, he careful for the morrow when it comes.

The evil thereof — Speaking after the manner of men. But all trouble is, upon the whole, a real good. It is good physic which God dispenses daily to his children, according to the need and the strength of each.
