Cast all your anxieties on God; he cares for you

Morning: Psalm 63, 98; Exodus 28:1-4, 30-38; I Peter 5:1-11
Evening: Psalm 103; Matthew 7:15-29
Whom to trust?  Our world is in a crisis of trust.  When things are off-kilter, anxious people may follow authoritarian leaders who say they have the answers. Such leaders wield authority, but not humbly. Jesus, on the other hand, shows God’s way … he leads humbly and with authority. The Gospel teaches us to shun demagoguery and authoritarianism and to cast our anxieties on God. Humanly speaking, this means it is wise to choose leaders who balance authority with humility, those who themselves follow and reflect the way of Jesus.
