Do not be anxious

Yesterday: Possibly over Northern Ontario

My ministry work first trip, to Toronto, Ontario went very well.

Highlights:

Approximately a dozen meetings in a week, meeting with various ministry departments. I found my co-workers humble and caring.

As I posted on Satire Und Theology, I attended the Club America @ Toronto FC, CONCACAF Champions League, Semi-final, match.

There was a winter-like, rain storm. I discovered later that my brand new winter jacket now has two major rips to sewn areas that became soaked. It took approximately sixteen hours for my jacket to dry. The ministry lent me a blazer the next day to use. I am hoping, of course, to find someone local to repair the new coat.

The ministry for which I was hired Regional Director for British Columbia and Yukon is on a relaunch. There is of course much new work to do, and uncertainty on how the new ministry relaunch will work.

Matthew 6:34 English Standard Version (ESV) 34 “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

From work, from the warehouse, I fortunately received three defective, not suitable for sale, texts. These have some physical damage. Synopsis of the Four Gospels, parallels Mark 6: 25-34 with Luke 12: 22-32. (59). At verse 22, Jesus Christ tells his listeners (and future readers) not to be anxious about life, verse 30, instead the Father knows the needs of each person and this includes follower. (59).

In my work, there is much to do, but God-willing I shall live on what Jesus Christ stated, (paraphrased) to live a day at a time. I am seeking from God, today's grace for today, not yesterday's grace for today, not tomorrow's grace for today.  I am focused on completing one task, successfully at a time and will leave the level of success up to God.
