My morning Sermon study was Matthew 6:25-33, telling us not to be anxious about our life, what we eat, drink, wear and comparing how God feeds, waters, clothes the birds, beasts and nature, ending with your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness....
Again, as has happened so often in my past, it seems that today everywhere I turn is the same message: Our Father knows...and supplies...our needs when our need is a spiritual one.
Most important, in both today's "God Calling" and my Sermon study, is the promise of our needs always being met...ah, but with the caution that our needs be spiritual...then all these things shall be ours as well. The words that get short shrift are spiritual need and seek first his righteousness.
There's my whole story...I am filled with gratitude for when my prayer for the world touched on the pandemic I felt comforted that this, too, is for us to walk through with God. Our problem is not how to kill the pandemic but how to help God heal our world.
We can hang up our trowels, hammers, saws and handbaskets...until we get the quiet word from within to pick up your nets and follow Me. Ah, Home free.
Thank you.
