Bear Grylls Surprises With Touching Performance Of 'Seek Ye First' - More Music

Television show host and survival expert Bear Grylls surprised many with a touching performance of the beloved hymn “Seek Ye First.”

Everyone has a busy life, with family and work obligations pulling people in 100 different directions. Family is a necessary part of life. It would be nearly impossible to go through life without loved ones around you willing to help and lend a hand. Family and friends make life a better, fuller and richer experience; there is no argument against that statement. 

However, while family and loved ones are significant parts of everyone’s life, they are not supposed to be the most important thing. God is supposed to be the central figure, the main focus of our lives. In the New Testament, in Matthew, Jesus made this clear. He said we must first seek God and His righteousness before anything else.

In a clip posted on social media, Bear, known for his television shows and survival instincts, puts on a musical performance, singing the hymn “Seek Ye First.” Not only does he sing, but he also records himself playing the piano.

“Seek ye first the kingdom of God

And His righteousness

And all these things shall be added unto you

Hallelu, Hallelujah!”

Bear's wonderfully moving rendition of the hymn shows that he has been blessed musically. However, he apparently doesn’t think too highly of his musical abilities. 

In the caption to the video, Bear wrote, “Trip down memory lane singing kids faith songs! (Singing/playing badly but it makes me happy!)”

God has blessed and touched our lives in many ways. But we must never become more concerned about, interested in or focused on life’s blessings than about God. It’s easy to get sidetracked or have our focus shift elsewhere. However, God must always remain priority number one in our lives.

Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
