What kind of God is He?

Matthew 6:33 But seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

So security seems in short supply lately. People are losing their homes, their jobs, their retirement funds, their insurance, their families, their health. In one school district, the security of tenure has been taken away from teachers - all are up on the chopping block. Companies are closing their doors and taking away jobs that people have had for thirty years. Many in American are struggling.

Faith becomes an important issue. In whom or what am I trusting? What is it I am seeking after? In Matthew chapter 6 Jesus tells us not to be anxious for our lives - "as to what you shall eat, or what you shall drink..as to what you shall put on..." "for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things." We can give our service to money trying to get all that we think we need, or we can give our service to God and allow our Father in heaven to take care of our needs.

If I choose to believe the truth that God is a good Father Who loves me then I do not allow thoughts that lead to worry and anxiety. I seek my King as to how He wants me to serve in His Kingdom on a daily basis. I remember Who He is - King - and it is about His kingdom, and not the illusion of my own kingdom here on earth. He will take care of me - supplying me with food and clothes - just as He did His people in the desert. I need to concentrate daily on being part of His kingdom, seeking His righteousness, and leave the rest to Him.
