How do we know the importance of seeking God over worldly concerns?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus taught that the 'one thing needful' is to seek Him above all else.

In the narrative, Jesus rebukes Martha for being 'anxious and troubled about many things' while highlighting that 'one thing is needful' (Luke 10:41-42). This admonition reveals the necessity of prioritizing our relationship with God, as true spiritual life cannot flourish amid distraction and worry over material matters. Christ's affirmation of Mary's choice encourages believers throughout history to focus on spiritual nourishment via His word, which is eternal and vital for our souls. Reflecting on this, Christians are reminded that their eternal treasures lie not in worldly achievements but in their connection to Christ.
