Devotional Thoughts about Matthew 6:25-34
Because worry is a constant temptation for me, I always find this passage in the Sermon on the Mount challenging.
Someone who’s decided to serve God shouldn’t fret
about the practical necessities of life such as food, drink and clothing.
Jesus used the
Hebrew practice of arguing from the lesser to the greater as He compared His followers to birds and flowers,
God hasn’t programmed birds to store up food for coming days; He feeds them. And He even gives exquisite colors and blossoms to many plants that will be withered and done in a short time. Having provided for them, He can be counted upon to provide food and clothing for His children.
As noted in verse 32, worry is the recourse left to the heathens—those who don’t know God. And worrying won’t make anyone grow taller or live longer.
Lord, help me trust You, seeking Your kingdom and Your
righteousness first.
