"He's got the whole world..."

Matthew 6:25-34

What a relaxing notion: Do not worry about tomorrow, for today has enough troubles of its own. As many of prepare for the school season to start up again, we are worried, if not at least mildly preoccupied wih th coming days and weeks and months (and years?). But Jesus makes it clear, that our primary concern at all times is the work and will of God. "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness." When we direct our attention there first, God will provide everything else we need. This sounds pretty ridiculous, am I right?! Trusting God to give us exactly what we need? Food, clothes, shelter?...money, work, security?... friends, love, happiness?... entertainment? luxury? rest?... How can we know what God thinks we need? The thing is, we can't know. All we can do is trust. Trust that God is there. Trust that God is watching. Trust that God cares. Trust that God is love. Trust that God knows what is best. And also, trust that we are not God, and so are not in the best place of determining what is best for us. That's the tricky one, I suppose. Letting go and letting God work for us and through us. Let go and trust God.
