1. Do not worry about your life (25-32)

Our most basic instinct is for survival. We want to live. We must have food, clothes and shelter if we are to live and not die. But the life God gave us has meaning and purpose beyond just being physically sustained. Godless people run after money, food and clothes. But Jesus tells his disciples not to be anxious about these things. Why? First, worrying doesn't solve any problems. No one can add a single hour to his life by worrying. Second, our Father God who created us knows what we need (6:8). He cares for those who put their trust in him. Faith in God and anxiety about life cannot co-exist in the same heart.

2. Seek first God's kingdom (33-34)

God created mankind for mission, not for food and clothes. The self-seeking life can only be miserable. When we seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness, then he supplies our real needs and gives us eternal life. We do not need to worry about tomorrow; we must do our best to serve God today.

Application: Lord, help me to seek first your kingdom and your righteousness.
One Word: Seek God's kingdom first
