“Which of you by taking thought cad 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, I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 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? Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? Or, what shall we drink? Or, wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for. Your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 27-33
This is the power of our salvation through Christ; we are able take no thought about our own lives, because Jesus is ever living to intercede for us. Find a child who is well provided for, whose parents love him, and who are raising him properly, and you will see what Jesus is saying that we can and should be like. We stand fast in the Lord because He has empowered us to stand fast in all of the power of His might and He has provided everything for us to stand fast! Through the love and glory of God, we are able to be just like little kids, as we take no thought for our own lives! Salvation allows us to enter God’s perfect rest, and His peace that passes all understanding allows us to confidently trust in His abundant provision for our lives! Through Christ we stand fast and through Christ we have life and we have it abundantly! Through Christ we have life, just as Jesus has life; as He is, so are we in this world!
And we have been empowered by Jesus Himself to seek first the Kingdom of God as He leads us in the Path of Righteousness! Jesus knows exactly how to Shepherd us and He ever lives to intercede for us. He is our Head and through our unity with Him we are saved to the uttermost! There is nothing that our Lord is and there is nothing that He has that He has not given us and made us one with! So just as Jesus does not have to take thought for His life, neither do we, because we stand eternally in the power of His might!
