Seeking God first provides several key benefits: It allows one to fully understand God's justice and not worry about the future because all things are in God's control. God hears prayers and delivers people from fears. He gives strength to face problems and worries. Seeking God first results in a long, peaceful life. Making God a top priority allows people to find who God is and what He intends for their lives. However, pride, rebellion, lack of time, and hurry can act as barriers to properly seeking the Lord. Overall, seeking the Lord should be a lifelong priority for believers.
