Matthew 6:25-34 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your
life, what you will eat [or drink], or about your body, what you will wear. Is not
life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky; they do not sow or reap, they gather nothing
into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment
to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all
his splendor was clothed like one of them.
If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is
thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of
little faith? So do not
worry and say, ‘What are we to eat?’ or ‘What are we to drink?’ or ‘What are we
to wear?’ All these
things the pagans seek. Your heavenly
Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom (of God) and his
righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about
tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself. Sufficient for a day is its own evil.
In life we need food
for our bodies to live but Jesus tells us:
John 6:35 “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.
In life we need water
for our bodies to live but Jesus tells us:
John 4:13-14 “Everyone who drinks this water will be
thirsty again; but whoever drinks the water I shall give
will never thirst; the water I shall give will become in him a spring of water
welling up to eternal life.”
In life we need rest
for our bodies to live but Jesus tells us:
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come
to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from
me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.”
In life we need to
protect our lives but Jesus tells us:
Luke 17:33 Whoever seeks to preserve his
life will lose it, but whoever loses it will save it.
