Charles Finney emphasizes the necessity of prioritizing the Kingdom of God and His righteousness above all else, clarifying that this kingdom is spiritual and resides within the hearts of believers rather than being a worldly establishment. He urges that seeking this kingdom should be the foremost concern of our lives, requiring earnestness, perseverance, and a complete commitment to Christ's governance. Finney warns against the distractions of worldly cares and stresses that neglecting this command can lead to spiritual peril, while also assuring that God will provide for our earthly needs if we prioritize Him. The sermon highlights the importance of treating spiritual matters with urgency and sincerity, as the eternal well-being of our souls depends on it.

F.B. Meyer emphasizes that Solomon's choice of wisdom and knowledge to honor God led to God's abundant blessings, including wealth. This reflects Jesus' teaching that those who seek God's kingdom will have their needs met. Meyer contrasts the biblical view of life with the common pursuit of mere survival and success, urging believers to prioritize serving God's redemptive purposes. He reassures that when we dedicate our lives to God's glory, He will provide for our needs. Ultimately, God desires us to focus on His will, promising that no good thing will be withheld from those who serve Him faithfully.
