I used to grow up thinking that Matthew 6:33 was the magic verse. "Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." I figured that if I sought out God first that I'd have a big house, a BMW, dine at expensive restaurants, and had the best clothes. ALL THIS! As I've grown to read scripture in it's context, I've learned that this isn't about a life a luxury at all. Really this passage is about life period. "All this" is equal to having food and drink and clothes - I don't even see anything in there about a BED let alone a house. I could be disappointed, I mean shouldn't my definition of "All this" be God's definition as well? But his economy is on a whole different level than ours. We can't understand it, but we must trust it. In our economy where people are loosing jobs daily, we can trust our God to provide our most basic of human needs. It may not be as we would hope or want, but he will provide. So... let's live remembering that our "Heavenly Father knows that you need..." And he will give us just that and most likely.... more!
