Just
9 verses, but if we could REALLY learn to live in the promise that
these words of Jesus bring, what would our lives look like?
Matthew
6
25 "That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life;
whether
you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear.
Isn't
life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look
at the birds.
They
don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly
Father feeds them.
And
aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?
27 Can
all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 "And
why worry about your clothing?
Look
at the lilies of the field and how they grow.
They
don't work or make their clothing,
29 yet
Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
30 And
if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers
that
are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow,
he
will certainly care for you.
Why
do you have so little faith?
31"So
don't worry about these things, saying,
'What
will we eat?
What
will we drink?
What
will we wear?'
32 These
things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers,
but
your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.
33 Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else,
and
live righteously,
and
he will give you everything you need.
34 "So
don't worry about tomorrow,
for
tomorrow will bring its own worries.
Today's
trouble is enough for today.
