Good Friday morning! What in the world is happening today? These days it seems that it might be a lot easier to ask, "what isn't?" Everywhere we look events are in motion that might be signs of the end. I don't need to attempt to list them all; you can read any newspaper or listen to any newscast and get just a sampling of all that is going on these days. So what among all these things should we worry about? The national crises, our own problems, the challenges in the church, or maybe we should worry about all of the above? Jesus tells to worry about only the problems of today, and even those problems we must bring to Him. In all of this whirling storm of events and circumstances we must do one thing first. Jesus told us the way, "But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matt 6:33 KJV)
Sometimes a message comes several times in Bible studies and devotionals; this one has been coming to me recently. Seek ye first... This is one of those messages that we need to be reminded of from time to time. We tend to get caught up in the events whirling around and inside of us forgetting that we are not to worry. Have you filed your tax forms yet? Did you think about the billions going to bail out banks? Don't worry about that! Yes, no one said not worrying would be easy. :-)
Trust in Jesus on this fine Friday!
