If you are everything.
then I have everything.
If I have everything
then I don't need anything.
This means : If you are everything then my decisions don't really matter.
- It doesn't matter if I do Grad School or not because you are still present.
- It doesn't matter if I quit my job or not because you are still present.
- It doesn't matter if I move out of Tampa or not because you are still present.
None of my decisions then really matter. They hold no weight because if I really trust and believe you have everything then you will also then effectively provide everything. If I seek clarity, you will provide it. If I seek direction, you will provide it. If I seek community, you will provide it.
So then:
"Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness
and all these things...
will be given to you as well.
Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow
for tomorrow will worry about itself."
Matthew 6:33-34
But what should I do instead of worrying? The answer is this fix your eyes on Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith. Seek his kingdom. His righteousness. His peace. His provision. His guidance. His knowledge so that then I can become like Paul and confidently say, "I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content in whatever the circumstances." Philippians 4:11
