When perplexed and troubled

“Anyone seeking the kingdom is certain to find it for it is the Father’s kingdom” is the major theme of Jesus. It is a realm in which Jesus rules and to which those who trust him belong. See Luke 6:20; 11:20; 17:20-21.
“But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Monsignor Ronald Knox’s translation says, “No, make it your first care to find the kingdom of God.” “Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” Richard Francis Weymouth’s translation says, “Dismiss your fears, little flock: your Father finds pleasure in giving you the kingdom” (Luke 12:31-32, KJV)
