Jesus
Asked It #5
As soon as I
read Jesus’ next question, I remembered my first years as a bilingual
teacher. It was so overwhelming! So, to simplify my life, I decided to join my
students and wear the uniform that they wore:
blue pants/skirt and a white blouse.
That way I could focus on what was truly
important: being the best teacher I
could be.
As I read the above verse, I wondered if Christ was really saying: “Seriously, why do you worry about
clothes? There are lost souls to be
saved, the sick to be healed! Time is
short! Focus on what is important,
people!”
So, what is really
important in your own life to focus on?
What is God calling you to do?
Jana Alcorn pointed out Isaiah 38:2 in her book, Don't Throw In The
Towel, Hope Again.
Instead of focusing on Hezekiah turning towards the wall, she
points out that he could have been turning AWAY from everything that was
distracting him from God’s voice!
Dear Reader, do we need to do this as well? Do we need to cease worrying about the little
things so that we can focus on what is vital?
If God takes care of nature, surely He will take care of us,
His beloved children!
Go forth in joy and confidence!
Do not problems, pain and worry distract you from listening
to God’s voice and fulfilling His will for your life! Amen? :)

I enjoyed the setting and characters in Pastoral by André Alexis. The setting was idyllic for Father Pennant's wanderings. The human nature was shared quite honestly and realistically. I look forward to reading the sequel, Fifteen Dogs. This is my 2nd book finished for the 12 Annual Canadian Book Challenge hosted Melwyk at The Indextrious Reader!
Maeve Binchy again, presented an intriguing read. Our young protagonist is faced with an exceedingly difficult dilemma in which she chooses as wisely as she can. Eventually, the story comes to a somewhat abrupt end which provides her with some measure of peace and the ability to move forward.
Thank you for reminding us of what matters and that we should not worry about the clothes and the food. God sees us and cares for us. We are lucky to have everything we need. Thanks to our, Lord!
