Seek Ye First

Matthew, Chapter 6

25 Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious 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: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

27 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?

28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,

29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of litle faith?

31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?'or 'What shall we drink?'or 'What shall we wear?'

32 For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.

33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

34 Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.



Verses to note to self when financial woes looms over my head.

The next 2 months are going to be really busy with all the events I'm involved in, and I am truly glad to be able to serve. Especially alongside my brothers and sisters. I really want to spend my last few months here doing all I can in a church I feel so at home in.

It's going to be hard to find a church that dedicate so much of its resources to mentoring and teaching, and I'd really miss my bible classes because I've truly learned so much over the years here. Sigh.
