The Economy of Care

This day and age, as in any time in history, since man has learned about the value of goods and services, money has been on the forefront of people's minds. It's the driving force behind hitting that alarm button and getting up and going to work. I woke up thinking about what are people's highest aspirations and what is behind money and the economy? I then thought about God's economy, the Economy of Care. What if caring for people, love and tenderness was behind our every endeavor and plans for the day? What a world this would be. There are some people, I have heard who have tried to make due without money, who are part of an experiment to see if they can function on the barter system. In a perfect world it would work, but this is far from a perfect world. I think of the scripture: "Seek First the Kingdom of God, and It's Righteousness and All Else Will be Added Unto You". The Kingdom of God is Righteousness, Peace and Joy in the Holy Spirit. If we seek Him first and care about what He cares about, His Economy of Care, then we will be taken care of.
