Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing?
Look at the birds in the sky; they do do not sow or reap, they gather nothing
into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are not you more important
than they? Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your lifespan?
-Matthew 6:26-27
As I reflected on this verse, I realized how much unnecessary
worrying I actually do on a daily basis. This verse makes a very strong
argument against worrying, saying that life is much more than just clothes and
material items. Doesn’t God take care of the animals? So… pretty much He can be
relied upon to take care of us too. We can’t really do anything to make
ourselves live longer, so why do we keep trying? If I keep taking those vitamin
pills, its not going to add to my life span, so why take them? They are really unnecessary.
Instead, this verse calls for trust in the Lord, that if He takes care of the
animals, will he not also take care of us? Pretty likely.
