Take No Thought: Part 1
By focusing on God’s Kingdom and eternal priorities, we can live free from worry. The care God gives to birds and flowers assures us of His provision.
Where this command is found:
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 the life more than meat, and the body 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?…Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Have you ever considered what one of the greatest thieves to our peace, joy and happiness is? Maybe you have experienced it: one moment you are enjoying the beauty of a day, the fellowship of a friend or the blessing of a gift that was given to you and then it happened…the tranquility of that moment flees away as a dark, ominous cloud overshadows your heart and mind.
