DAILY BREAD…



Blessings to you TODAY!

 

Jesus gives his disciples (and us) six reasons for trusting in God rather than worrying….

Day Five…MATTHEW 6:31-33  “So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?  These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.”

 

 

God's children should seek instead God's agendas…assured that God will also care for them in the process.   Even in Jesus' model prayer, disciples seek God's kingdom first! 

 

Faith is not an intricate ritual to get what we want for ourselves; FAITH is obeying God's will with the assurance that HE WILL ultimately fulfill for us what is in our best interests. That kind of faith grows ONLY in the context of an intimate relationship of love between the heavenly Father and his children.

 

Some people today associate faith with being able to obtain possessions from God, but Jesus did not even associate it with seeking basic needs from God.  Pagans seek those things, he warned…we should seek instead GOD’S Kingdom and HIS RIGHTEOUS Will. 

 

Let us consider…When his people care for OTHERS IN need among them, that God supplies the needs of his people as a whole, perhaps because then He can best trust them to use his gifts righteously…


We ARE God's children!!!  God will NEVER treat us as orphans who need to fend for themselves.   Trust ONLY IN Him…Amen!
