"Infideli-TEA!"

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, (Matthew 6:25, NIV)

Infidelity stinks. Whether it's a physical infidelity of a spouse or a breach of loyalty that breaks an emotional relationship with a friend, infidelity takes its toll upon relationships and leaves deep scars. What about spiritual infidelity? 

If we are to "take no thought for our lives" (KJV) doesn't that imply that mapping out our agendas and planning over excessively are a form of spiritual infidelity? According to Oswald Chambers it does. (My Utmost for His Highest, 5/23)

So much forethought can bring undue pressure. (Don't I know that to be true!)

Worrying implies that God can not look after the practical details of our lives. Infidelity can begin with the smallest worries. What to eat. What to drink. What to wear. 

"Look at the birds,....."Matthew 6:26

"Consider the lilies...."(Matthew 6: 28)

But in our own lives we still falter and thus fall into the worry trap. "I will not trust where I cannot see." (Ibid, 5/23)

Worry is infidelity.

Therefore, in obedience to the Spirit, today's blog holds no cuppa because I don't want to drink from a cuppa of infideli-TEA!*


*2:29 pm disclaimer/admission---Woe is me---I had no more gotten up from my prayer chair than I began to "sip" from that cuppa spiritual infideli-TEA. I couldn't find my car keys. Worries flooded in. "What if's" pounded in my ears! I not only sipped it, I swallowed it ----I should have spit it out!

I was headed to "work out" my stress (thru Zumba and a water class) wondering what if I can't get in without my pass, which is "attached" to said keys.

Woe is me who can "type it" but can't "live it"----at least not for sustained periods!
