Today's encouragement comes from Matthew 6:33, where we read these words:
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”All worry is a result of misplaced priorities. The entire fallen world misses out on the best (Christ), by seeking inferior (even good) things. In the end, every-thing is lost. Our Messiah promises us that, if we seek Him and His kingdom, everything we need will also be added to us.
God is not stingy with us—He is magnanimous with us. Our Father knows what we need; but He loves us too much to allow us to find true and real sat-isfaction in anyone or anything other than Jesus Christ.
[Puritan quote of the day: "We should not look at our services to God only as duties enjoined, but as high privileges, as dignities put upon us that we should glory in His service.” —Jeremiah Burroughs, in, "The Excellency of a Gracious Spirit"
