All for One?

Matthew 6:33
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

So, have you found security in knowing that the debt ceiling has been raised? No, I assure you I’m not going down that road with this posting. I just thought that would get your attention! But I would like to address the fact that the world’s economy is failing and we Christians, those who are the Bride of Christ, don’t have a thing to worry about.

Like so many other people today, I have a tendency to get swept away in the sensational news broadcasts that declare the end of the world is near. Whether it’s FOX news telling us how the President is driving the country into the ground, or GMA reporting that the government is going to shut down because we’re just flat broke, bad news sells.

But there is a bad side to bad news. It causes fear, anxiety, heart problems, wars, anger, depression, contentions, jealousy, class-ism, and a myriad of other things. Good News, however, puts a smile on your face, a spring in your step, and some joy in your life. So, for today, Good News.

What do I mean by Good News? Simple; Jesus Christ has opened the storehouses of God’s blessings to all of humanity through His perfect, once and for all, sacrifice on the cross. His humiliation, death, resurrection, and ascension into heaven has given us free, unmerited access to the throne of God, where we, sanctified by His blood, are assured salvation.

Christ Himself, before His crucifixion, gave us this promise: first go after the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. What things? Food, water, and clothing, the things that so many people right now are terrified that they’ll go without. But the promise of Christ says “shall”. That’s not a might, maybe, could be, or almost always will be; it is a resounding “shall” from the Son of God!

Friends, there’s a world of turmoil out there, but one thing is for certain: those who are in Christ shall have food, water, and clothing. We shall have a supernatural supply in a world that is full of demand. For we know that Christ is the King whose kingdom we seek; He is Righteousness made man to receive the judgement reserved for sinners. He gave us the plan: seek Him and all these other things will be added to you.

So, don’t worry whether your job will be there tomorrow. Don’t worry what’s going to happen to your 401(k). Don’t put your salvation trust in the works of your hands, the government of man, or the NYSE. Look for Jesus. Seek Him in all that you do; find Him every time you turn around and enjoy the supernatural abundance granted through His grace.
