Hello Precious People in Jesus’ Mighty Name,
The other day, Ann and I were talking about the man who took his life because he was afraid of losing all his money. The man had been a multi-billionaire and had recently lost a couple of billion due to the crash in 2008. He still had billions…
Do Not Be Anxious – There is a great secret to be learned here. And, God can show us how to discover this hidden jewel. Somehow, we can trade anxious for His peace.
Wow, I want to learn how to let God make the following scripture passage a true reality in my life. I want to live as carefree as the sparrows as a result of seeking first the kingdom of God and His righteousness by exchanging my earthly ways for His supernatural, life-transforming ways. I know God can do it or He wouldn’t have included it in the Bible.
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Therefore do not be anxious, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:25-33
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Romans 14:17
I don’t want to do a quick “drive-by” and just shrug off these types of passages thinking they’ll never really become a reality in my life so why give them my time. I want to live them.
Money takes up so much of our life on earth. In Heaven, money’s no object. If the Kingdom is truly at hand (Mark 1:15), and if money’s no object in Heaven, can that become true in my heart while I’m on earth?
It’s going to be such a relief to be free from money. That’ll be nice.
Take time to think about Heaven and the joy that Jesus can bring to us even in this life if we’ll let Him teach us how to rest in His love and provision, both physically and spiritually, for us.
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28-30
God bless,
Mark
