 Directing our resources, pursuits, and passions toward God is far better. Jesus draws from some of the wisdom here and helps us understand it more clearly when he says, Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothes? Pray with me. Help us, Lord, to focus on living for you, seeking to put your kingdom first in our lives and in your world. Amen.
