25 "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
27Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?
28"So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?
31"Therefore do not worry, saying, "What shall we eat?' or "What shall we drink?' or "What shall we wear?' 32For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
It's always like that when He decides to intervene in my thoughts. It leaves you feeling, at once comforted, but also like the biggest fool in the universe for doubting "Oh you of little faith." I'm not one to push or shove religion into everything. As I was explaining, I was shoving it out of the situation knowing He had no interest in what happens nor would He intervene. Sometimes, even if we want to deny it for fear of sounding like one of those really annoying televangelists or crazy grandmothers giving you Bible stories for your birthday, Its practical He's there even when we don't want Him; And at those times, we need him the most.

I never took the time to think of the economic situation as u have so briliantly pointed out. Again you stir and bring thoughts out of some of us we didnt know were in there! Always a pleasant surprise to have your eyes opened wider and the blinders of "life" removed to see what really matters.
