"A" comes before "Z"

Helps us to know what to do per time.

Scholars of Economics have made us understand that the
human wants are unlimited and insatiable because the
resources required are limited.
Thus, with each passing day, everyone struggles to ensure
that one is able to keep ones’ head and by extension, family
and friends above water.
We wake up each day with the same dogged determination
to make sure that to an extent, we live a life of comfort and
be able to be a force to reckon with in the Economic society,
so to say.
However, it seemingly appears that life isn’t fair to everyone
and just as some people are at the apex of the Economic
ladder smiling in affluence, some others toil and sweat as
they are at different positions on the ladder trying and
hoping to get up, and quite sadly too, some others don’t
have the wherewithal to undergo the herculean task of
ascending the ladder and as such, are stuck at the base of
the ladder gnashing their teeth in anguish.
But, one thing is mutual to them all. They all want to satisfy
their wants and as such at a point would have asked some
questions like:
‘’What will I eat?’’
‘’How will I pay my bills?’’
‘’How will I have a successful relationship?’’
‘’How do I get to the pinnacle of my career?’’
Et cetera.
But good gracious, Jesus Christ seems to have answered
the question that even the brightest of Economists could
and cannot still prove yet.
Just like when Christ was on earth, some people confronted
him with such questions like the ones above.
He replied them in Matthew 6:31(KJV) ‘’therefore take no
thought, saying what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or,
wherewithal shall we be clothed?
He continued by saying our Father in Heaven knows that we
have need of all these things . v32
But He gave a condition- v33: ‘’But seek ye FIRST the
kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things
shall be added unto you.’’
He said ‘ ’all these things’’ meaning that all the theories
Adam Smith and co propounded about human wants being
insatiable are not found in His dictionary. Once you have
Christ, you have everything and have nothing to worry
about… Paul confirmed this in his letter to the brethren at
Phillipi. Phil. 4:6 that ‘be anxious for nothing… And in v19
where he said “my God shall supply ALL YOUR NEEDS
according to His riches in glory… ~ Don’t forget He fed 5000
people, but only when they sought Him first.
Remember He said we are joint heirs of the Father, and as
such if He cannot be bound by ‘’baseless’’ Economic
concepts, then, same should apply to us as Christians.
However, it’s ‘First things first’.
One can’t go all the way to Z without starting from A.
Some people pursue wealth, success, promotion etc. and
end up getting disappointed. It’s simply because they didn’t
put first things first, which of course, is Christ.
I came across a quote once, that ‘ a life without Christ is full
of Crisis.’
Aamir Khan ‘’Rancho’’ of the 2009 hit Indian movie ‘3 idiots’
said ‘’Pursue excellence and success will follow…’’ but I will
like to modify it by saying, ‘’Pursue Christ, and everything
will follow, even excellence and success.
Shalom,
Jesus’ kid.
