Jesus
said: “Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall
drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat,
and the body than raiment?” (Matt 6:25; KJV). The Apostle Peter told us to cast
every care on Jesus as Jesus loves us (1 Peter 5:7); that includes every care!
In
Matthew chapter 6, Jesus illustrated God’s ability to care for us and to meet
our need. 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: “But my God shall supply all your
need according to his riches in glory by 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 above, Jesus said that if we seek God and walk
in obedience to him, then: “all these things shall be added unto you” (Matt
6:33). Now that’s good news, not something to worry about.
