Take no thought

Matt 6:25 ““Therefore I say to you, 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?”

Jesus is saying theres something greater then food and clothing .

The word for life is Psyche - which means soul.

Is your life not more then chasing after these things.

They are apart of life but they shouldn’t be your life.

When you begin to worry about food etc etc. The start to be your life and hence have the ability to control you.

Don’t let those things define you.

I worry when my identity is wrapped in my stuff.

Some Pastors get wrapped up in there identity.

Psalm 138:2 “I will worship toward Your holy temple, And praise Your name For Your lovingkindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.”

These verses are great stumbling blocks because its in our nature to be concerned. Concern drives us to do many things.

Lock our doors at night.

Go to work

Go to school

Go to church

Look out the window to see if you see any suspicious activity outside.

We get worried when we have more questioned then we have answers.

Psalm 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart;

Try me, and know my anxieties;

24 And see if there is any wicked way in me,

And lead me in the way everlasting.

The Bible Knowledge Commentary 6:25–34 (Luke 12:22–34)

Jesus was saying God has built into His Creation the means by which all things are cared for. The birds are fed because they diligently work to maintain their lives. They do not store up great amounts of food, but continually work.

Proverbs 10:22 “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it.”

No tragedies of ill gotten gain.
