"These Things"

As there is so much going on in the world and the economy getting worse and worse in this country it is easy to get caught up in all of it. But there are two scriptures that I think we need to keep in mind especially in this time.

The first verse is: Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

"These things," that this verse is talking about are the things that indicate the end of the age. The kind of things we see increasing every day now such as; earthquakes, weather changes, wars and rumors of wars, etc. As I heard one person say some years ago, "we are not to look at these things, but we are to look up,."

The second verse is: Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

In this verse, "these things" is referring to the material needs that we have such as, food, clothing and shelter. God will supply our needs, if we seek first His kingdom.
