Do Not Worry

Do Not Worry

Matthew 6v25-34

The rule of the kingdom of God is not orientation of lack, but contentment. Because though you don't have the worldly possessions you want, you have the heavily relationship you need this relationship guarantees, whatever befalls you, will always belong to him. The worry-free life is the God present life. Not that the God- trusting life is free from suffering or trials, but because God is your heavenly Father, that doesn't just know what you need, but he knows your heart's deepest desires. There will never be enough material possessions or strategic moves you can think of, which will safeguard you from suffering discomfort or dissatisfaction. There will always be a deeper ache that won't be healed by more things of this world. Because if there is an ache, there must be something that can meet that ache. This ache can only be met by the King of heaven.

Therefore the relationship with Jesus guarantees the worry-free life. If we trust that he is the the king and his kingdom rule is true justice. This gives you a new horizon, a new view for your one life.

So the command to not worry is not a good piece of wisdom. It is the litmus test, if you trust God. Dependence on God is not a bug from the fall, but a feature on how the Father longs to reveal his provision through our asking and supplication. He is not unaware of your problems and your heart's cry. He holds your tears in a bottle. Not because your sorrow is a trophy, but because the bottle represents the salt water prayers, when we couldn't form the words in prayer. The silent ache for home to come. His steadfast love is fixed on his beloved. One who doesn't have to add height to their head to measure up, more time to their day to get ahead, dress up in som unlike splendor to be seen, and doesn't have to sing like a sparrow to be heard and given good gifts from the Father.

So if we seek first the kingdom of God, we don't have to worry about being last in the World.

Every bit of kingdom resource is available to us today. We don't need to worry about the future because the future king and the future kingdom life is available to us today. So, Do Not Worry.
