REVEALED WORD TODAY
// Read: Matthew 6:25-33 //
25 “So my counsel is: Don’t worry about things—food, drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body—and they are far more important than what to eat and wear. 26 Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat—they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food—for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. 27 Will all your worries add a single moment to your life?
28 “And why worry about your clothes? Look at the field lilies! They don’t worry about theirs. 29 Yet King Solomon in all his glory was not clothed as beautifully as they. 30 And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you, O men of little faith?
31-32 “So don’t worry at all about having enough food and clothing. Why be like the heathen? For they take pride in all these things and are deeply concerned about them. But your heavenly Father already knows perfectly well that you need them, 33 and he will give them to you if you give him first place in your life and live as he wants you to.
MEDITATION:
The mystery in the text today is that God will add all other things to those that seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness first. A logical mind cannot comprehend it. It does not look reasonable. The only way to experience this mystery is to believe it and begin to seek the Kingdom of God first and His righteousness by winning soul, praying the Kingdom down etc.
PRAYER: Pray for grace to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness.
