FOUNDATIONS FOR RECONSTRUCTION: Jesus knew a great danger lurked just under the surface of our lives. He knew it was easy to become so preoccupied with even legitimate concerns that Kingdom life shrivelled from lack of attention and thought. Physical concerns push their way to the top of our minds. That’s why Jesus warned again seeking these things. On the other hand, spiritual pursuits require study, prayer, thought and discipline. They don’t naturally stay in the front of our minds. You and I have to re-seek and re-pursue and re-establish them constantly or they lose potency in our lives.
