MATTHEW 6 22-34

   🍃🕊️01/20 - GospeL Verses 🍃

[Sermon while sitting on the Mountainside continued.] 22 -  “Your eye is the lamp of your body. So, if your eye is healthy and clear, your entire body will be full of light. 23 But if your eye is bad and dark your body will be full of darkness as well. If then the light in you is darkness, how very great is that darkness! 24 No one is able serve two masters. They will love one and hate the other. They will hold fast to one and will despise the other. You cannot be devoted to both God and wealth.

     25 I tell you, don’t be anxious about your life, what you’ll eat or drink, or what you’ll wear. Isn’t life more than food? And the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air. They don’t sow, nor do they reap nor gather into barns. And yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value? 27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to your lifetime?

     28 And why are you anxious about what you’ll wear.. Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil nor spin, 29 yet even Solomon in all his glory wasn’t arrayed like one of these. 30 And if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven [grass was twisted and used for fire] will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 Therefore don’t be anxious, and thinking, what will we eat, what will we drink, or what shall we wear? 32 For the worldly seek after all these, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 If you seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, all other things will be added to you. 34 Therefore don’t be anxious about tomorrow, for each day can have enough trouble without worrying about the next day. And tomorrow will take care of itself.”
