Do Not Worry About Tomorrow

Business is slow. People are getting laid off. Stocks continue to drop, and if reports are accurate, taxes are going up.

It makes for a very troubling atmosphere. And yet, as followers of Jesus, we are commanded to "...seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you."
Could this season of economic hardship be an opportunity for the advancing of His kingdom like no other? I believe it is.

First of all, it is causing me to face the strongholds of fear in my own heart. Romans 14:23 in The Message says "...If the way you live isn't consistent with what you believe, then it's wrong." Ouch! I say I trust God, but there is so much fear vying for my allegiance.

So here I am sorting through my inconsistencies, and asking God to help me be free from fear. That will advance His kingdom in my heart.
