So,
don’t worry about what you’ll be eating and drinking, and the style of your
stuff. People who don’t know God are consumed by these things. For your father,
God, these are details – He knows your needs. Invest your attention on the Lord
and His work. You’ll find that you have what you need. (Matthew 6:31-33)
Have you noticed that God has chosen to do
things differently? In this world, negotiation is important. Therefore, most
business communication is cloaked in and hindered by the pretense that masks
selfish motives. Will you be like those people whose every word; every action
is carefully calculated and crafted for personal advantage? Or will you focus
your attention on the needs of others, trusting Christ to provide what you
need?
Here, Jesus explains that in God’s Kingdom
economy, there is provision rather than a need for constant negotiation. Real
trust in a faithful God allows you to live freely. Your changed life will then
become one of the Lord’s signs for others. You will become one of the living
words of God’s sign language that speaks hope to the men and women you encounter.
Very few of the things of this world are
significant. Each of those things is found in Christ. Focus on Him so you will always
be about significant pursuits.
