SPRING FORTH NOW 2025

No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Matthew 6:24-33

Jesus reminds us that divided loyalties lead to confusion, but a heart centered on God finds clarity and peace. To seek first His kingdom requires intentional focus, aligning priorities with eternal values rather than temporary concerns. Within this focus lies Hidden Manna—God’s unseen provision that meets needs, sustains faith, and quiets worry. The invitation is to shift from striving for control to trusting the Father who knows what you need before you ask. Intentionality, then, means choosing daily to put God first, believing that everything else will fall into its proper place. Worry cannot add a single hour to life, but trust in God multiplies strength, joy, and peace. Today, be deliberate about seeking His kingdom above all, and watch how His hidden provision flows into every area of your life.
