Becoming a new creature in Christ is essential to becoming a true child of God. Without experiencing the new birth in our lives, the old man of sin will continue to have controlling dominion over us.

In today’s focus scripture, Jesus is assuring all who seek the Kingdom of God, not to be anxious--about our needs or our wants. Why? Because God will take care of these things if we seek the kingdom of God, first. As children of God, we all have a duty of depending on the providence of God for the things which we need. Lack Nothing requires faith and obedience to the Will of God! Seek the Kingdom of God, and all other things shall be added unto us, as God sees fit and declares them to be blessings for us. “Lack Nothing!”

Our world, nation, and communities are on a downward spiral and no one has effectively been able to turn things around. We need help! We need supernatural intervention to get us to where we need to be. Even with the best of intentions, things remain in moral shambles and hope is fading fast.

We have the assurance that if we abide in Christ, and study, believe, and obey His Word, then we can ask the Father to give us what we need to be wise, faithful, and bold servants of the Lord. My Sisters and Brothers, you can have confidence in asking the Father for "wisdom" or whatever you ask in harmony with His will. We know He is listening, so He will give us whatever is best!  “Ask God!”

Some people live lives that are filled with despair because their hope is gone. A person that has given up hope is destined to be a non-starter, an under-achiever, or a failure because they have no hope.

Today, James gives us good news! God has chosen the poor of this world to become rich in faith. Regardless of our financial status, we can be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom of God! We may be “Poor” by the world’s standards, “but Rich” in faith and love for God, so God has reserved an inheritance for us. Poor, But Rich gives us great benefits and blessings from God!

Many times people are so determined to have their way that they get blinded to the fact that their path is leading them to failure and destruction.

Paul reminds us in our focus scripture that we are to show the same kindness, fidelity, and respect for each other. God sees everything we say, do or fail to do. We all will answer to God for our deeds, thoughts, and wrongdoings. We all win when we are respectable, kind, just, and affectionate toward one another. Let us seek to always show respect, and enjoy God’s presence, His approval, and “Respect”!

God is most aware that we all at some time in our lives need a sympathetic and empathetic ear to hear our pleas for help and understanding. He understands that we have burdens in our lives that we need help to carry and overcome. He knows that there are many things we will encounter, He alone will be able to bring us through.
