"Do Not Be Worried..."

“Do Not Be Worried…”

Blessings folk!

What things do we allow to cause worry, fret, fear, anxiety in our lives?

We saw yesterday that Jesus said not to worry.
To what did He reference.

Mat 6:25
“For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life,
as to what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor for your body, as to what you will put on.
Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?


“For this reason…”?
We will look later at what preceded.

What worries did Jesus reference?

Overall, do not be worried about your life.
If we are True Believers, our lives are the Lord’s.
Worry is trusting in self rather than trusting in the Lord - Idolatry.

So, do not worry about your life.
It is not our burden to carry.
Do not worry about what is to be eaten.
Do not worry about what is to be drank.
Do not worry about clothing for your body.

Life is so much more than such.

Life is more than food - though to hear many, that would be a surprise.
How many live to eat rather than eat to live?

The body is more than clothing.

The Lord is showing us the foolishness of the pursuit of such…the worship of such.

We are to pursue Him.
We are to worship Him.
He will provide all we need.
