Let’s name some things that we all have a one time or another worried about!

Money, Food, Health, Clothing, Future, and Faith

Worry brings stress, sickness, fear, anxiety and yes even some mental illness. Worry causes Fear.

Jesus speaking here says.

Matthew 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, 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?

Food, Health, Clothing

Life is more important!

Matthew 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?              God creation

         We sow and reap and gather into barns afraid we will miss out!

Behold the fowls of the air God provides, the worms are always there!

                    Are ye not much better than they?   Value of you.  Image of God

       Don’t focus on food!             God loves you!

Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

There is nothing we can do that will add anything to our stature.

Matthew 6:28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

The flowers are still beautiful when they bloom!

Matthew 6:29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Soloman was a King and he had all wisdom he had a great life until he turned from his God!  Finest of everything. King does not get bad things.

 Matthew 6:30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

                                              Clothing and beauty.                                             

 Don’t focus on Clothing!

Focus on your Faith and increase in it.

*Matthew 6:31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

Matthew 6:32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

Pagan Gentiles were known to worry… and seek other gods…even fortune tellers.

Worry is a sin.

Hebrews 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Worry robs from today. Robs you of blessings. Robs you of strength for toady and will rob you of your joy. 

Don’t focus on worry!

*Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. He knows before you know you know.

We call him Father, are Fathers not responsible for there families and children.

God our Father is responsible to take care of us!

Matthew 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

*Focus on God!

Focus on His Kingdom!

                                          Focus on His Righteousness!

All these things will be added to you Money, Food, Health, Clothing, Future and Faith!

Matthew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

Don’t focus on future!           Don’t focus tomorrow!

Focus on today!          *God gives grace for today! Not tomorrow!

Live for today not tomorrow!      Live day by day!

Which will you grab and pick up today?  Fear or Faith?

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
