Overwhelmed
Pop culture overwhelms us with mass messaging that challenges our levels of satisfaction and our sense of status among equals. Pleas are made for money and time. Simplicity is undermined under the banner of “new and improved”. Busyness gauges one’s worth. Perfectionism is championed as noble. Perception is regarded as truth. Convenience is the new American ideal. Accessibility is expected. And technology is masked as our servant when it is becoming an altar we bow to. With all this surrounding a faith that is unseen, how do we “seek first his Kingdom”?

I say we use that faith (though unseen) as a lens through which we view the rest of the world. My faith in God as provider will keep me satisfied. My ability to budget wisely will afford me greater control over money and time. I will strive for perfection, recognizing that it's the effort that makes it a better way. And sometimes I will choose to take the hard road, even if it's inconvenient.
