Matthew 6.22-34
Light
"Your eyes are like a window for your body. When they are good, you
have all the light you need. But when your eyes are bad, everything
is dark. If the light inside you is dark, you surely are in the dark.
Money
You cannot be the slave of two masters! You will like one more than
the other or be more loyal to one than the other. You cannot serve
both God and money.
Worry
I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having
something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or
clothing? Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest.
They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes
care of them. Aren't you worth more than birds?
Can worry make you live longer? Why worry about clothes? Look how the
wild flowers grow. They don't work hard to make their clothes. But I
tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn't as well clothed as
one of them. God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the
fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow.
He will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little
faith?
Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we
have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?" Only
people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your
Father in heaven knows that you need all of these. But more than
anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the
other things will be yours as well.
Don't worry about tomorrow. It will take care of itself. You have
enough to worry about today."
God bless you.
