But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33

Are you worried about anything?  Worried about your job? Your relationships? How the presidential election will turn out in November? Jesus asked a simple question, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (Matthew 6:27) There are verses in scripture that we read, memorize, and study, however, we seldom think about how they play out in our everyday life.  In this passage Jesus is laying down the rules of conduct for those people who have His Spirit dwelling in them. He urges us to keep our minds filled with the concept of God’s control over everything, which means that we should maintain an attitude and belief in Him in all of lives situations. So, whoever is elected this November; whether you get the job or not; regardless of how the relationship turns out, God is in control.  Do you believe that?  If so, live it.
