Jesus was seeking God and Ills right
eousneSs. and because His hands were
safe hands into which to deliver the
all things" God gave Vim food
enough in the wilderness to feed FIVE
thousand men besides women and chill

Will really aud truly first seek the
Righteousness Of God? Why. lie will
place the riches OF Heaven and earth

the thousands and hundreds of thou
sands TO whom he preached and raised
money layi>hly TO use in the Lords
work. Look at the monuments in his
schools which he has left behind him
as testimonial that God here and now
will give the 'all these things" if only
you will seek first the Kingdom Of
God and His righteousness"
Jesus didn't have where to Law His
head. He didn't have purse. Notice
that Judas, the son o. perdition. car
ried that The rest trusted in the
keeping care Of the Lord. and when
tribute money was needed Peter goes
down TO the waters edge and takes II
out Of the mouth OF fish God sent.
When draught of fishes is needed TO
strengthen the faith Of the disciples
and turn their hearts from seeking the
things Of the world to the seeking the
things Of God. God fills their nets until
they break. And notice that they inn
mediately left all and followed Jesus.
Do YOU know. ! half believe that when
they realized the bounty Of God and
His care for them. before they forsooIl
their boats that day. they thrust back
into the water that great fnnv hoard
and a. they dartcd of with glad firt,
OF their tails and graceful waves Of
iheir scaiy sides, the disciples gave one
glad look upward To the God who had
given and then followed Jesus. Ifthcy
never knew il before they realized that
day that the Lords fish swan in Cali
lees blue waters; they knew that the
Lords birds sang in The tree tops: they
knew that it was Gods grain waving in
the fields ard Gods cattle on a tbou-
sand hills, and when CcI knew tbat
they had need of these things He would
supply with bountiful hand.
Never was a person better fed than
the prophet Elijah as he sits by the
brook and Gods ravens bring him
bread and meat! Never was such q
glorious banquet held as that out on
the grassy slopes Of the lake when God
fed the multitude ON the few ,oaves and
f-hcs, God wants YOU to know and
me to know that but one thing is need
full. to seek His Kingdom and Ills right
cousncss and that He will provide the
rest. Jesus cited the birds Of The air
and the lilies Of the field TO illustrate
the certain care OF God for III, children
