“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 any one 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. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all things will be added unto you.” Do you believe that? If our identification is with Jesus Christ, we must not worry. I can share a secret with you. If you find yourself serving God without one thought for yourself, God will show up and bless you in ways you will never be able to repay. But if you serve God with the anticipation of God’s reward, your service will be in vein. It would be helpful if we could see God or Jesus face to face. If we could, we would instantly surrender our will to His. Where we are is that blessed is the one who sees and believes, but more blessed is the one who has not seen, yet believes.
