Luke 12:27-31 (TPT)
Think about the lilies. They grow and become beautiful, not because they work hard or strive to clothe themselves. Yet not even Solomon, wearing his kingly garments of splendor, could be compared to a field of lilies.
If God can clothe the fields and meadows with grass and flowers, can’t He clothe you as well, O struggling one with so many doubts? I repeat it: Don’t let worry enter your life. Live above the anxious cares about your personal needs.
People everywhere seem to worry about making a living, but your heavenly Father knows your every need and will take care of you. Each and every day He will supply your needs as you seek His kingdom passionately, above all else.

So many people are talking – and worrying – about the “supply chain” and “supply chain shortages”. I’ve got good news for you – if you belong to God, are born again AND obey the above scripture – or Matthew 6:33, the most quoted version: seek ye first the Kingdom of God – His way of doing and being right – He will take care of you.
Philippians 4:19 (AMPC) And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
It’s easy – choose to believe the world’s way and do what they do: panic all the time – or – choose to believe God, and do things His way: trust Him, trust Him, trust Him, trust Him. It’s that simple.
Matthew 6:31-32 (NKJV) Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

By the way, the Kingdom of God isn’t a place – it’s how God operates. It’s within you!
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.
Romans 14:17 (TPT) For the kingdom of God is not a matter of rules about food and drink, but is in the realm of the Holy Spirit, filled with righteousness, peace, and joy.

So good, Nan. I do believe we will thrive… live in abundance and supernatural provision as we trust God and keep our focus on Him while doing what is right and obeying the leading of the Holy Spirit.
