“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 life more than meat, and the body more than raiment? 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? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies in the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet Solomon in all of his glory was not arrayed like one of them.” Matthew 6:25-29
Jesus tells us to take no thought for our physical needs; food, clothing, or our lives, which are all definitely real needs that we have while on the earth. Jesus teaches us this because He knows, He knows beyond any shadow of a doubt, that our needs are now met according to God’s riches and glory! So; “Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith.” Matthew 6:30
How many sermons have we all heard that teach us how to pray or act to get something, a new home, a car, clothes for the kids, a spouse, a job, more money, or whatever else we need? I have heard hundreds of them; whole ministries are out there who are devoted to preaching nothing but that kind of stuff. Well, Jesus said to take no thought for these things; it’s kind of hard to reconcile the two isn’t it? God teaches us to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness and all of these things will be given to us, and they will be given to us according to His riches through our Lord and Savior Jesus! “But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all of these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33 God knows what we need and He doesn’t slouch in meeting our needs, our Fathers blessings overtake us through Christ! If you are concerned with your needs, don’t be like the unsaved and worry about them, and focus on them, through the power of the Holy Spirit within you seek first God’s Kingdom, and all of your needs will be met. Now here is the really powerful Truth for us, we can’t help but seek God first, because we have the power and strength of Jesus within us, we are now one with Him, and as He is, so are we in this world! We have God’s grace and it is constantly exerting its influence on our souls! All things now work together for our good, and Jesus will lead us in the paths of our Fathers righteousness! We are strengthened with the fullness of our Father and through His grace and strength we will come to the maturity of taking no thought for our own lives! It’s the Father within us doing the works and faith comes for us by hearing God’s Truth, and His Truth sets us free!
