Let not your heart be troubled:
It stinks that 'the affairs of the world' dictate our choices, but they sure do, for most every living person.
But if our Love, peace, joy, patience, wisdom, health, etc. is dependent on
the circumstances of our lives, then we aren't living from the inside out, from the Kingdom of God and the Spirit within. Instead, we're living from the world.
And that's not safe, and God said don't do it. He said, I've provided a much Better Way for you.
Finding that 'place' where the Spirit of God dwells in us, and meeting Him there, is different than our normal routine, but doable.
AND, God rewards those who diligently seek Him. So, it's also practical.
We all tend to think that praying means asking for what we want. And that's true, but when we learn that IN HIM (by the Spirit and the Kingdom) are all good things, then we put first things first, and "FIRST SEEK' His Presence, and WHEN HE COMES, ALL ELSE SHALL BE ADDED.
In other words, when He reigns over our life, we have done the "One needful thing",eternally so.
I want to know the thoughts of God. Everything else is just details.
A Miracle is when God makes His Reality our Experience
