~ Words of the Church Fathers ~
God loves His creation, His image, and provides the things which man needs. If one does not believe this and struggles by himself to acquire these earthly gifts, he will suffer.
But even if God does not provide some of these earthly, material things, a person who is leading a spiritual life will not worry about it.
If we seek first the Kingdom of God and this is our only concern, all the other things will be given to us, as well. Will God abandon His creation? The manna which God provided for the Israelites in the desert would spoil if they kept it for the next day. (Cf. Ex 16:19-20.) God arranged things this way so that the people would have confidence in His divine providence. We have not yet understood the words of Jesus.
Saint Paisios of Mt Athos, “Seek first the Kingdom of God” (Cf. Mt 6:33)
