Worry should not weary me if I know that God treasures me.
Our Worry Is Often Trivial (6:25-30)
- Jesus’ teaching on anxiety is immediately preceded by his teaching on generosity.
- Whether they are constantly searching (birds) or passively receiving (lilies), God even takes care of lesser lifeforms.
- If God cares for the entire creation, how could He not care for the only ones created in His image?
- Jesus doesn’t encourage idleness but emphasizes calmness.
Our Worry Is Often Offensive (6:31-32)
- Christians should portray a different type of peace than those who don’t know God.
- This life would be overwhelming if you lacked the confidence that God is your Heavenly Father.
- Unchallenged anxiety is a symptom of practical atheism.
Our Worry Is Often Misplaced (6:33-34)
- God’s Kingdom work cannot be an afterthought in the life of the disciple.
- We receive the saving righteousness of Jesus, and we prioritize the practical righteousness of discipleship.
- Commit to doing God’s work God’s way, and He promises to take care of your needs His way.
- Do what you can today, and you will never have to worry about what you have to do tomorrow.
