I start the day listenIng to pray as you go app and reading a devotional and
Automatically make connections. Connecting the texts to each other and to my life. This morning I hear about living in the kingdom which means following a path of service. " whoever wishes to be great must be a servant...."
The devotional is about trusting God in our daily life:
Matthew 6:25
Therefore do not worry about your life.
, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear,
. is not life more than food and your body more than clothes?
And it all connects with this verse:
But seek first the kingdom and all these things will be added unto you
Seeking first the kingdom is understanding that the best life is found in serving ---- loving----- others. It is as simple as that. And to shift the focus from ourselves to others helps us to stop worrying about tomorrow.
It is easy to write this here on vacation where I am bring served with great love by Geoff and Vicky. This has been a peaceful restful time receiving care.
Tomorrow I go back home and into the life that does involve service - love in action - to friends, family, church people and others. And I do know it is a good life.
For now I rest in Gods love and the care of this family and marvel at Gods design for our lives. When we are " seeking the kingdom" we are connecting to the divine and human; Our loving God and our community.
And all will be well
