The substance and the shadow.
Good day God's beloveth!

Matt.6:25-34
6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Presently ,it seems that there is only one language that majority of people ; both young and old understand and obey: which is money. Well, money is a good thing and in no way is it evil, unless the love of it(1 Tim 6:10). The general perception is that money is the focal point of life.

Well, there is One that I know (God Almighty) that knows all things, even before the foundation of the world, who also love humanity so much and has made provisions for our necessities in life. All things are made by Him (Gen.1:1) and for Him. (Rev.4:11) All the good stuffs of life that you press hard to get ,you can get them at no cost (PS.46:10) be it fame, money, health, children etc .( Ps.37:4) He is the focal point of life, when you put Him at the center of your life, all is settled.( Matt. 6:33-34)

It is not in God's interest that you be poor, it won't add anything to Him. It is abnormal for you to be poor. The earth is of the Lord, and the fullness thereof. (Ps.50:12) God is more than willing to bless you, He says in Zechariah 1:17 that His cities through prosperity shall be spread abroad. In Ps. 2:8 ,He says ask of Me ,and I will make the nations your heritage ,and the end of the earth your possession. This should tell you that God expects us to ask for big things. Whatever you ask ,so long it is according to His will, is guaranteed (1 John 5:14, Matt.7:7-cool

The evil of this age is that : men run after the shadow, pursue the fruit, instead of the Substance which is God. Dear, money is good, fame is good, I also want them .Nevertheless, let your focus be on the substance and not on the shadow. When you have the substance, the shadow will certainly follow you. With this ,you have the best of both worlds .His assurance in Matt.6:25-34 is sure, He is too mighty to fail.(1 Samuel 15:29)

Look beyond the shadow and behold the substance, with Him ,your future is secure. You don't really need any connection to get to the height you desire ,God is the only One that matters, the strength of man will fail you. (1 Sam.2:9;Jere. 17:5) Prov. 21:1 says He has the hearts of kings in His hand and does as He like with them. He can turn the heart of that person in your favour. So long, your ways please Him, all is sure to work out well for you. ( Rom.8:28).
Enjoy your day!
