Jesus addressed worry head-on in His Sermon on the Mount. He said, “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?” (Matthew 6:25)
He pointed to the birds of the air—they don’t plant crops or store food, yet our heavenly Father feeds them. He points out the wildflowers—they don’t labor or spin, yet they’re more beautifully dressed than even King Solomon. Then came the question: “Are you not much more valuable than they?” (26).
Worry changes nothing, Jesus explains, but it steals today’s peace. His solution is simple and profound.
“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” (33-34).
When we make God’s purposes our top priority, He promises to take care of the rest.
