verse of the day

There is plenty ( Matthew 6 v 25 - 34 )

I received information that in parts of Africa and in other parts of the world,plagues of locust are devouring peoples crops,there was a moving picture of a lady waving a cloth at then to chase them away,a futile exercise,but it highlights how she felt.The result of this plague will be that many will grow hungry and many will starve to death. My son spoke to a friend in South Africa ,he has not  been able to buy a loaf of bread for four days,he has four children.Now I contrast this with the country I live in ,and how people are reacting to the coronavirus  ,panic, the supermarkets cannot keep up with the demands of people  wanting to buy groceries. This in spite of the fact that they are continually being assured that there is no supply shortage .We need not be surprised at how people are acting,Jesus said to us Christians, ''So do not worry, saying,what shall we eat ?,or what shall we drink?,or what shall we wear? For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ''but He did not stop there ,He went on to say,''But seek first his Kingdom  and his righteousness and all these things will be given to you as well''
