Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (Matthew 5:25)
Reading these words, I found myself coming to the realization that based on how I manage my life, my answer would have to be, “Umm…no.” No, more often than not, I am much more content to trifle with food, clothing, the new Mac laptops, my GPA, and on and on, rather than realizing the reality of the kingdom and seeking after it.
No my friends, life is much more than the food we digest and the clothes we adorn. When we get dressed, there is the kingdom. When we eat, there is the kingdom. When we work, when we study, when we talk with our wives and fellowship with our friends, there is the kingdom. So let us be first mindful of the kingdom and God’s righteousness, knowing that it is within the context of the kingdom that we live.
“Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?” I ask you, is it really?
