that is the hard thing
seeking the kingdom
determining what God wants
amid the noise, the chaos
our own competing demands
our interests, our desires
to seek the kingdom
and the will of God.
that is almost easier
when I pause, think it over,
the next part of the scripture
to completely trust in God
that all of our needs
ever dot, ever tittle,
all our other needs
will be provided by God.
