Jesus
said: “do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink;
nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the
body more than clothing?” (Matt 6:25) The Apostle Peter told us to cast every
care on Jesus as Jesus loves us (1 Peter 5:7.) That’s every care.
In
Matthew chapter 6, Jesus illustrated Gods ability to care for us and to meet
our needs. Jesus said why would you worry? Look how God feeds the birds! They
don’t even farm; God feeds them. Look at the flowers in summer time. Not even
Solomon with all his wealth and resources could get clothes to match the beauty
of a flower garden.
In
Philippians Chapter 4 and verse 19 Paul said: “and my God shall supply all your
need according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus”. Notice that God
supplies all of your need according to His resources! It gets even better; Paul
told us that God can do more that we can think or ask (Eph 3:20).
Again,
in our main passage from Mathews Gospel, Jesus said that if we seek God and walk
in obedience to Him, then: “all these things shall be added to you” (Matt 6:33).
Now that’s good news, not something to worry about!
