Matthew 6:24-34
King James Version (KJV)
24 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.
25 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?
26 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?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 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?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 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.

That is a lot of trust for a God you cannot see. But, a lot of people seem to do it including basketball coaches and soccer players. Don't think they trusted only when they got the big tv contract. They probably trusted a long time before that when they were six years old and had the choice between the "trees and fences" wallpaper or the "athletic team" wallpaper with pucks, hockey sticks, basketball, baseball and soccer balls on it. Some chose the biblical wallpapers with Joseph and Moses on it.
The point is, this stuff is just too good to be made up! We will always meet people who seem to do what they want and get by with that lifestyle because you see them have stuff but do you really know what keeps them going when they are alone? Can they handle being alone? Do they start evil arguments with their girlfriend, boyfriend or baby father; don't forget husband or wife?
Well, maybe they(some people you know) envy the people who seem to do what they want with no fear of Father God and they still get by and they have enough money for some endo or crack-cocaine too?
If you are feeling fatigued and you have had many husbands and you are on to find perfection, you have made the right choice. The last man wasn't perfect nor the one before him. But you are about to find your perfect answer in the one who always satisfies. His name is Jehovah. He has a perfect office clerk or junior corporate officer called Jesus who always did what He was told and impressed Nicodemus (John 4-being born again!)so take a drink from Him in Psalms 42 or John 4. Mary Magdalene was also a good junior corporate officer or Jedi initiate. We have to give the ladies some recognition for their discipleship or they may start an angry women's studies program at the local Uni-short for university. Read it (John 4) and feel the refreshing effervescence associated with a nice tall can of Mountain Dew. Believe it! Go ahead. Just try some! The alternative to reading John 4 and Proverbs 31 is to read Proverbs 2, 5,6,7,9 which is a depiction of the"always" thirsty, hungry and dissatisfied with their addictive lunches, dinner and breakfast.
