And
If God Cares So Wonderfully For Wildflowers …
He
Will Certainly Care For You.
Why
Do You Have So Little Faith?
Scripture
Matthew
6
25 “That
is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have
enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more
than food, and your body more than clothing?
26 Look at
the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for
your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable
to him than they are?
28 “And
why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and
how they grow. They don’t work or make their clothing, 29 yet
Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
30 And if
God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and
thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do
you have so little faith?
31 “So
don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What
will we drink? What will we wear?’
32 These
things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father
already knows all your needs.
33 Seek
the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will
give you everything you need.
34 “So
don’t worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own
worries. Today’s trouble is enough for today.
Observation
Overwhelmed?
Depressed? Worried? Life going in the direction?
Then
Matthew 6 is a great place for you! It has always been a great place
for me!
Jesus'
Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) only takes about fifteen minutes to
read, but application of all its contents will take us our entire
life time.
Lets
focus on Matthew 6:25-34 where Jesus is telling us not to worry about
everyday life.
There
is one key verse in this passage that I don't want you to miss. It is
so important. It is the key to successful living.
Applying
this one verse will take care of most of our problems. If we do what
this verse says, it will change everything. What verse am I talking
about? What verse out of these eight verses do you think I am talking
about?
If
you said, “Matthew 6:33” then you are absolutely correct!
Here
is my paraphrase of verse 33, “When I put God and His kingdom first
in my life then my God promises me that He will provide everything
that I need for my every day life.”
Philippians
4:6-7
6 Don’t
worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what
you need, and thank him for all he has done.
7 Then
you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can
understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in
Christ Jesus.
Application
I
will not worry about every day life.
How
about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You know how much this passage means to me. You have shown me
over and over and over again that I can trust You with every detail
of my life. Thank You for taking such good care of me. I pray for
those who find themselves overwhelmed with life today. Help them to
turn everything over to You.
