1. Your Father knows that you need them (22-31)

Anxiety is a faith problem (28b). Jesus reminds us that worry cannot solve any problem--but our loving heavenly Father can. People worry about food and clothes, and about the future--their jobs, health, insurance, children's education, and other real and practical matters. But no one can add a single hour to his life by worrying. If we spend our time thinking about food and clothes we are just like the pagan world. Our Father who knows our needs is ready to supply them. If we seek his kingdom he gives us everything.

2. Your Father gives you the kingdom (32-34)

God's flock does not need to fear. Our Father is pleased to give us the kingdom. We need not clutch at the things of the world. We must seek to give rather than to get. We must live by faith and provide for ourselves treasures in heaven that will not perish, spoil or fade.

Application: Lord, increase my faith. Give me the best gift, your kingdom.
One Word: Don't be afraid--live by faith
