All of us struggle with fear and anxiety, but you and I were not made to bear the kind of fear that generates a constant flow of anxiety and worry. It’s not good for us and it’s not fruitful. This video reminds us that we are called to be worry-free and to resist the kind of anxiety that is crippling.
This video is included in Gateway Church’s Fresh Start Bible series called “Fresh Start Journey” by Pastor Jimmy Evans. Open your Bible and follow along with me. This is question #33.
Matthew 6:25-33
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
