Jesus after telling His disciples to be rich towards God and that reminding them that life is not measured by how much material wealth one has, He told them not to worry about what to eat and what to wear for life is more than food and body more than clothing. God feeds the birds which never sow nor reap and the disciples are of more value to God than the birds.
Can you add a single moment in your life by worrying? If you can't do such a small thing, why worry about the other.
God beautifies the flowers of the field more than even Solomon in all his glory. God clothes the grass in the field which today is green and tomorrow is thrown in the fire. How much more will He clothe you of little faith?
And do not seek what you will eat and what you will drink, and do not keep worrying. These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers all over the world, but your Father already knows your needs.
Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and he will give you everything you need.
Don’t be afraid, little flock. For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.
What's is the kingdom which we are to seek first of all?
The kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Rom 14:17
The birds wake up and praise God and go out in the field picking grains. They are not inactive; but in their labours, God provides for them.
In our daily activities, seeking God's kingdom first may mean that our primary occupation of our thoughts are on partaking more of the righteousness, and peace and joy found in the Holy Spirit and serving God in the attitude even in our place of work. Rom 14:18.
As this becomes our attitude, God will give us everything that we need. It gives God pleasure to give us His righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Do you have it? Are you continuing seeking to experience the Righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Spirit? Is your mind worrying about so many things? God will take care of you if you seek with all your heart His righteousness, peace and joy found in the Holy Spirit.
Open your hands to those things that you hold so tightly and share with others. You will keep your riches in heaven and money bags which don't grow old and no thief can steal or moth destroy; YOUR HEART IS ALWAYS WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS.
What is the thing you value so much in your life? The thing that you are always thinking about which you are not willing to lose for anything? That is your possession. You are obsessed with it. Sell it and give to the poor and your treasure now will changed location from earth to heaven.
Be dressed for service and keep your lamps burning
You are a blessed to be a blessing
Feel free to share
