learning DAILY

Matthew 6:34, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry

                          about its own things.  Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

Huh? What? Me?  Am I afraid or worried?  Do I fear the days we are living in?  Nah, not really.  However, 2019 has been quite a year!  There are some crazy people (in both political parties) leading our country.  I used to be the one that would stay up on election night until the losing candidate would finally give in; I loved everything about politics.  No more. There are so many crazy ideas being tossed at us that my head spins.  Those of us that have been around a while know that “there is no such thing as a free lunch” and to be sound financially “we do not spend more than we earn”!  Have you noticed the intensity that has increased regarding the hatred of each political party for the other?

The severity seen in the weather (not talking climate change here), earthquakes, plagues and epidemics and rumors of war around the world is increasing.  The hatred for Christianity, the killing of Christians around the world is being seen in the United States as well.  Mass murder in places of worship, schools, shopping areas, and restaurants has risen and happens far too often.  What I am seeing in this country, in this world is chaos, hatred, jealousies, and ungodliness.  And, it degusts me!

But Jesus said do not worry about tomorrow (what 2020 will bring).  In other words, do not add to the things we need to do today to live our life correctly.  Matthew 6:33 tells us what we need to be doing instead.  “Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”  What things?  All that we need to live our lives for Him.  All the negative things we are seeing in our life time are not getting better.  Spend 2020 not in worry and fear but in seeking the One who has all things in His control, by seeking to live the life He has set for us to live – Christlike living, letting His light shine brightly through us that all might see Him.
