Matthew 16

 

 

Trust in God

( … Don’t be afraid , little flock , for your father has been pleased to give you the kingdom …

Make yourselves money belts which do not wear out ,

an unfailing treasure in heaven. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also … )

In my opinion

This is an invitation from Jesus Christ to be theist people, trust in God and ourselves in every sense of the word.

 

To break in all fields of life , never fear any one or a blame .

This is an invitation to leave all empty , fancied and ridiculous calculation behind .

And leave a wide door to God , to shave us in all sides of our lives .

Depending only on him in everything we have to do for our religion , life and future we are the people of defeated and unsuccessful calculations .

We think too much about every issue we face .

We think too much if we want to have children . we think about their expenses , about the private schools in which they must learn , their future career , kind of clothes ….etc.

And at the end of those ' realistic ' calculations we find that this person would likely prefer not to have children, even not to marry .

We are the people of defeated , unsuccessful calculations , and " worthily ".

The commandment of our teacher and Lord says :

Leave a wide door to God in your life thinking and future.

Depend on God in each duty you have to do .
