and then all these things taken together will be given you besides. Matthew 6:33
and THEN - at that time, immediately or soon afterward, next in order of time.
THEN when I seek for (aim at and strive after) THEN!
all these things. What things? What I will eat, or what I will drink, about my body and what I shall put on? If I have gotten anything from these blogs it's that being uneasy, anxious and or worried is not confined to these issues. And I don't think that Jesus was confining His teaching to just those areas either. The bigger picture is this. Is there anything bigger than your heavenly Father? Then why worry? If God is bigger than anything then everything will be alright.
I think I get tripped up because of the then. I let my time with Him become routine if at all. I don't purposefully seek after, it just kinda rolls in and out like the tide. Jesus is being as specific and as diliberate as He can be regarding this topic. And with all His diligence I come back with wishy washy commitment.
THEN!!!! Not before and not until but THEN all things will be taken together.
APPLICATION - What's keeping me from THEN? Writing it down is a clear picture and we all know a picture is worth a thousand words.
