I want it "all"

Matthew 7:33  "But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

I think this verse can be easily twisted into something it is not.  Our world and society is a constant chase for material wealth.  This verse can be twisted in such a way that it would seem to say, "Seek God and He will reward you with all you want in this world."

Some might label this as "prosperity gospel", but it can be much more subtle than a blatant message of "if I do X, God will give me Y".  When we use the word "all" (as in "all these things will be given to you"), there has to be some sort of reference point to give the word meaning.  Otherwise, we are left to ask "all of what?"  In the absence of this context, we might choose to define it the way we want it to be defined or based on an assumption. 

The verses preceding verse 33 above give us the context for Jesus' use of the word "all".  In verse 31, He references what He considers to be our three basic needs: 1) what shall we eat, 2) what shall we drink, and 3) what shall we wear.  This gives us context when He uses the word "all" two verses later. 

Is His definition of "all" different than your definition?  His "all" means your most basic needs as a human, not in any way including things that can only be classified as "wants".  If we are seeking God because of what we want and our belief that He will give it to us, we need to deeply and carefully examine our definition of "all" and make sure it lines up with His definition.
