How do we know that Jesus wants us to prioritize being with Him?

In Matthew 6:33, Jesus instructs, 'But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.' This command underscores the necessity of placing God at the center of our lives. The example of Mary in Luke 10 shows that the act of sitting at Jesus' feet to hear His word is not just recommended but is a clear indication of what Jesus desires from His followers. He wants us to recognize the most significant relationship in our lives is with Him and to devote time to listen, learn, and grow in His presence. When we prioritize our relationship with Christ, we are equipped to face the challenges of life with peace and purpose.
