So I am getting ready to drive to Kentucky in a few days; headed out to the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville. As I am trying to get packed up and fit everything I own in my little Toyota Corolla, I am realizing that I am blessed with many “things of this world”. I praise God that he has clothed me and fed me for so many years. This morning’s readings have reminded me where those blessings come from:
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. (Matthew 6:31-34 ESV)
Pray that I will “seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness” because it is so easy to trust the blessings rather than the One who gives the blessings. O that I would never trust anything but Christ!
Blessed with every spiritual blessing for life and godliness,
JD
