In Matthew 6:33 we read, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness…” This section of the Sermon on the Mount is about who or what is going to rule your life. Christ starts this line of reasoning in v.24 (No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon (money or material pursuits).” Matthew 6:33 is about who you serve; it is not primarily about worry or anxiety.

Mississippi Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce Andy Gipson (R) signed an administrative order on Monday aimed at shielding the state’s agribusinesses from California’s new climate reporting mandates.
“Gavin Newsome should tend to his own State’s business, rather than trying to meddle with ours,” Gipson said on social media.

People in Quitman have probably noticed a flamboyance of flamingos invading yards.
These bright pink birds are helping youth at Calvary Baptist Church raise money to go on a mission trip later this year.
So far, there has been a positive response to the fund raiser, and they hope that the community will continue to show support.

Thomas Oden wrote: "The cross had to be carried and endured before it could be preached. Jesus came to become the sacrifice, not clarify the concept of sacrifice. He did not come to teach about the cross, but to be nailed to it. He came that there might be a gospel to preach." That's what I want us to consider this week as we prepare our hearts for the upcoming celebration of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. For us to get to celebrate, Jesus had to suffer. And that He suffered willingly deserves not only our attention; but also, our utmost gratitude and total devotion.
