"The LORD looks down from heaven on humankind to see if there are any who are wise, who seek after God." (Psalm 14:2)
God is active in the world---knowing this, trusting this, acting on this---this is wisdom.
Like Herod, we often choose and react to situations based on the powers, preferences and demands of the world---as if God is not present--instead of choosing and reacting based on God's preferences and demands of us. We know what we should do, according to our identity as God's beloved, but we choose to do what pleases/satisfies the world instead.
In Matthew 14: we have a vision of the Kingdom of God: a feast of abundance. A feast where all are fed because Jesus offers what is at hand to God. God blesses it. It is shared. It is more than enough. "Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven."
