The God Who Prorives

The God Who Provides

My dear friends, Jesus gives us a life-changing promise in Matthew 6:33: “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

But before that, He names the false masters that pull our hearts: our reputation, wealth, and security. Then Jesus looks at His disciples and says, “Do not be anxious about your life.” He repeats this three times because He knows how deeply worry grips us.

Why should we not worry? Because life is more than food and clothing. If God feeds the birds and clothes the flowers with beauty, how much more will He care for you, His child? Worry cannot add a single day to your life. In fact, it only weighs you down.

Faith does not grow by looking inward but by allowing God to work on the inside of you so you can look upward to Him. Pagans are those who don't know the true God who provides. They worry about everything and take shortcuts, stepping on other people's toes to get whatever they want. Pagans worry like orphans, chasing after things with fear. But disciples of Christ rest like children, secure in their heavenly Father’s care.

So today, release your worry into God’s hands. Trust Him. And in that freedom, seek His kingdom first. When you do, you’ll discover He truly supplies every need.
