I heard on the radio this morning that the weather is about to turn colder, but I did a bit of a double take when I arrived at Tesco to see the front of the shop filled with sledges and snow shovels, clearly it is about to turn colder than I thought- or is it?
The two thoughts together in my mind and I think in lots of people's mind make me begin to worry whether they know something we don't and rather than just pick up a pint of milk maybe I should prepare for the worst. Is this a deliberate marketing trick, or an I just a complete pessimist?
I do tend to make provision for things and not just leave them to chance yet all of Jesus's teachings tell me just the opposite, work on my relationship with God and what he asks of me and everything else will fall into place.
So I haven't bought a shovel or ten loaves and pints of milk- I have left it all but I confess I am still just a little bit worried .
'But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.'Matthew 6:33
