Do not worry and be heathy

Matthew 6:25-34
New King James Version (NKJV)

Do Not Worry

25 “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? 26 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? 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

• High Quality Life : Happy Life
• High Quality body : Healthy Life
• Stature : Growth or Increase in Years

Worldly Life

• Sow
• Reap
• Gather into Barns
• Finally, trying to get a good life, by that time everything is gone.

• Toil : Male
• Spin : Female
• Solomon had wealth, glory but not health

Real Life

Eg: Birds

• Birds, thanks giving. Singing.

Eg: Lilies

• No Stress
• We have health through Jesus Christ
• Wealth and Glory shall be added unto us

Eg: Grass

• More importance even just for a day, that it should be clothed
• How much more, we who live eternally will be clothed (healthy)

To:

• Its for the people, “O you of little faith”

Luke 12:30-32
New King James Version (NKJV)

30 For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.

32 “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

How to receive ALL these things?

Romans 14:17
New King James Version (NKJV)

17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

• Peace is the absence of worry
• Joy is what God wants on his carefree children

Do not worry

And daily He shall be praised.

13 And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days.

14 So if you walk in My ways, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as your father David walked, then I will lengthen your days.”

• riches and honor without condition
• lengthen your days comes with a condition
• Solomon didn’t get lengthen of days
• We received lengthen of days through Jesus Christ

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

2 Corinthians 9:6-11
New King James Version (NKJV)
The Cheerful Giver

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 9 As it is written:

“He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever.”

10 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
