The Kingdom Idea of Self Care. Those of the world have become more dependent on the external things of life and the things they can make happen for themselves. When these things are tested, it leads to worry and stress. God never meant for us to depend on ourselves or something other than Him. Material wealth is not meant to sustain us or be dependent on it for our care. Our focus on external things like our possessions, jobs, money, and people will cause the Kingdom of God not to function correctly in our lives. Remember, external things are temporary and are not guaranteed to provide the care we need.     Reevaluate your life often! Are you spending time in the presence of God?   Are you reading your Bible and praying? Are you attending church regularly? Are you mindful of your thoughts? Is it time for you to pivot? The key to self-care is you must stay on message, which is the message of the Kingdom. Self-care must be a dependency on God and not ourselves.
