6:27 Matthew “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (NIV)
Do you worry? Does all that worry change things? I know that it does change you… it fatigues you… it depresses you… it keeps you from enjoying others and the blessings that you already have. It doesn’t have to do that. You can turn ALL of those worries over to God. You can take proactive actions to change the outcomes of the things that you worry about. Trust that God is in control. He isn’t worried about it… so don’t let it worry you either!
6:24 Matthew “No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money.” (NIV) 6:21 Matthew “For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” (NIV) 6:20 Matthew “But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.” (NIV) 6:19 Matthew “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.” (NIV) 6:13 Matthew “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.” (NIV) 6:12 Matthew “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.” (NIV) 6:11 Matthew “Give us today our daily bread.” (NIV)
Six words. Powerful words. Words which every person understands. Those who face physical hunger have the best understanding as they think about bread a lot. Those with spiritual hunger also know just what they need. How about you? Do you take food for granted? Do you take your Bible for granted? Recognize that you have great needs for both. Give thanks that Jesus is the Bread of Life. He will sustain you both now and forever!
6:09 Matthew "This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,” (NIV) 6:08 Matthew “Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” (NIV)
