Yesterday, no matter how hard I tried, time and money both slipped away from me. I earned some more money by working, but spent quite a bit of time by doing so. Should I choose not to work today, time will still slip by me and money will leak out in various ways. For example, I may defer payment on something until the next payday, but that money is still slipping away. As the boss pointed out yesterday, time and money are two things that can only be spent once. The good news is that we usually get more of both. We also tend to seek out more of both on a regular basis. However, Jesus gave us some wisdom to apply to our lives.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matt 6:33)
This wisdom comes in a passage on worry, or more accurately - not spending time in worry. Jesus our Lord commanded His followers not to worry over our needs. Spending our time in worry is wasting time. Spending time in seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness is time well spent. Of course, the best is yet to come: all the time we spend in seeking the right things is rewarded by adding the things we worry about unto us.
Spend a good day in seeking His kingdom and righteousness!
