Matthew 6:25-34
Introduction:
Matthew 4:23-5:2 “And JESUS went
about all Galilee teaching in their Synagogues, preaching The Gospel of The
Kingdom and Healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the
people. Then His Fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all
sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments and those who
were demon-possessed and epileptics; and
He Healed them all. Great multitudes followed Him – from Galilee and Decapolis,
Jerusalem, Judea and beyond Jordan. And seeing the multitudes He went up on a
mountain and when He was seated His disciples came to Him; then He opened His
mouth and taught them, saying:”
:25-27 “Therefore I say to you, do
not worry about your Life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about
your body, what you will put on. Is not Life more than food and the body more
than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor
gather into barns, yet your Heavenly Father feeds them; are you not of more value than they? Which of you
by worrying can add one cubit to your height (stature)?”
:28-32 “So why do you worry about
clothing? Consider the lilies of the field , how they grow: they neither toil
nor spin: and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed
(arrayed) like one of these. Now if GOD so clothes the grass of the field which
is today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe
you, O you of little Faith? Therefore do not worry, saying ‘What shall we eat?’
or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things
the Gentiles (sinners) seek. For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all
these things.”
:33-34 “But (You) Seek First The
Kingdom of GOD and His Righteousness and All these things shall be added to
you. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its
own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”
In Philippians 4:10-20 Paul expounds
on JESUS’ statement: “But I rejoice in JOHOVAH
(The LORD) greatly, that now at last your care (you have revived your care) for
me has flourished again; though you surly did care but you lacked opportunity.
Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever condition (state)
I am, to be Content: I know how to Live Humbly (be abased) and I know how to Live
in Prosperity (abound). Everywhere in All Things I have Learned both to be full
and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things
through CHRIST Who Strengthens me! Nevertheless you have done well that you
shared in my destress. Now you Philippians know also that in the beginning of
the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no Church shared with me concerning
giving and receiving, but only you. For even in Thessalonica you sent aid
once and again for my necessities. Not that I seek the gift, but I seek the
Fruit that abounds to your Account (Heavenly Treasure). Indeed I have received all
and abound; I am full having received from Epaphroditus the things sent
from you, a sweet smelling aroma, an acceptable Sacrifice, well pleasing to
GOD! And my GOD shall Supply all your need according to His riches in Glory by
CHRIST JESUS! Now to our GOD and Father be Glory forever and Ever. Amen.”
This truth is based in the fact
that every covenant that GOD has made with humanity has a requirement for us to
fulfill and a Blessing that GOD promises us and every commandment has a promise
of something that we need or a Blessing from GOD if we obey it!
