"The Full Extent" [Module#380]  (John 13:1)

I sense a change has taken place
As I around this layer skate;
Attention’s shifted in my mind
To ways and means of cash and kind.

That is, from focus up above;
More down below, in showing love
A better way, in Kingdom-style;
A shift in focus for a while.

Like, “Seek ye first” and what that means;
No place of Kingdom’s in between –
Nice, now I’ve got a place to stand
Now back to task which lies at hand.

Lord, business-life a puzzle is;
Beats me how best in end is biz
Conducted on the Kingdom-plain;
Or must we in the world remain –

To do straight business for a while?
Exchange is how I shift my pile
Of extra resource for the rest
So needs diverse can be addressed.

Seek first the Kingdom’s what You taught;
The rest gets added, or it ought –
I’ve no idea what that means,
Though lots of folks do – so it seems.

You sought the Kingdom-life for all
By dying, rising, sending call
To one and all through simple guys,
Up onto Kingdom-layer – size?

Is wide, and long, and deep, as need
Exists – from which we each can feed
The ones around us who have need
To grow, mature, make fruit with seed.

Okay, I get that – but the cash
Is what I don’t get – theory’s trash
For most part – open up my eyes
To Kingdom-life beneath the skies.

Thanks Lord for this.
