“… And do not set your heart on what you eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world run after all such things and your Father knows that you need them. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well…….” Luke 12:29-31
How true! We are always running after things we thought are important to us. We are always worried what we should eat, wear and buy. We all like to show off, even a little, believe it or not.
We put in so much effort to make sure others envy us. We care so much for things that we do not really need. We care not for things that can help us to grow, spiritually.
God knows our needs …. In the Lord’s Prayer ….. ‘Give us today our daily bread’ … which also means God will provide what is enough to fill us. He gives more if we care to seek His Kingdom ….
God’s Kingdom is not a matter of words. Not everyone can enter. Those who qualified had already sacrificed not only their worldly possessions, but also themselves.
“… And do not set your heart on what you eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world run after all such things and your Father knows that you need them. But seek His kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well…….”

You have a very nice, inspirational blog here.
I see more of materialism in today's rat race in bigger cities.
I prefer nature and the countryside where I have more peace and time to admire God's creation.
'Pagan' world? Don't you mean the REAL world of Gaia's bright beauty?
All kigdoms are ruled by autocratic control freaks; you must have had a kind father, unlike many people - calling the divine a 'father' is unfortunate P.R. as well as partriarchal claptrap.
I live in a rainforest that no-one's fantasy father had a hand in creating, thanks. We're busy protecting it from those whose religion tells them that they have 'dominion' over the Earth and its creatures.
What short-sighted propaganda!
Be here now.
