It isn't God's will for us to worry. It is His will for us to believe Him to care for us. I also learned that as believers, we're not to seek after material riches. We're not to pursue money like people who are without God. They have to pursue it. They don't have a covenant with God, so if they don't seek material goods, they won't get them! But we're not like those people. We're not in the world without God and without a covenant (Ephesians 2:12-13). We have God's promise of provision. He has assured us in His Word that He will not only meet our needs, but give us an abundance. It's important for us to remember, however, that a covenant is always between two parties. It has two sides to it. A covenant says, If you do this, then I'll do that. God's part of the covenant is to prosper us—spirit, soul and body as well as financially. What is our part of the covenant? It's not to seek after that prosperity. If we do that, we'll get sidetracked. Our part of the covenant is to seek first His kingdom, His way of doing and being right!
