One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them............
Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.
Your eye is like a lamp that
provides light for your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is
filled with light. But when your eye is unhealthy, your whole body is
filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness,
how deep that darkness is!
No one can serve two
masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one
and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money.
That is why I tell you not
to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough
clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your
heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they
are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?
And why worry about your
clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. They don’t work or
make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as
beautifully as they are. And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that
are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for
you. Why do you have so little faith?
So don’t worry about these
things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These
things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already
knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and
live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.
So don’t worry about
tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today’s trouble is enough
for today."
