VERSE: Therefore I tell U, do not worry about UR life, what U will eat or drink; or about UR body, what U will wear. Is not life more important than food, & the body more important than clothes?
Matthew 6:25 Mes: If you decide 4 God, living a life of God-worship, it follows that U don't fuss about what's on the table at mealtimes or whether the clothes in UR closet are in fashion. There is far more to UR life than the food U put in UR stomach, more 2 UR outer appearance than the clothes U hang on UR body. Look at the birds, free & un-fettered not tied down 2 a job description, careless in the care of God. & U count far more 2 him than birds. FOOTNOTES LIFE AP BIBLE: Because of the ill effects of worry, Jesus tells us not 2 worry U may (1) damage your health (2)cause the object of UR worry 2 comsume UR thoughts when they should B on Jesus (3) disrupt UR productivity (4) negatively affect the way U treat others (5)reduce your ability to tust in God !!!!.

(5)reduce your ability 2 tust in God !!!!. How many ill effects of worry R you experiencing ? Here is the difference between worry & genuine concern - worry immorbilizes , concern moves U to action, guided by God.
PRAYER:
Generous Father, banish fear and selfishness from my heart. I
know you have already provided the most incredible gift of all
time. Please help me pursue you and your will and not the things
that choke out your presence in my life. In Jesus' name I pray.
Amen.
THOUGHT:
Worries are many and they all seem to crowd in around bill time,
don't they. Jesus reminded us that life is more than food or
clothes. The real question is whether we can live like life is more
than food and clothing. We get deceived so easily, like Esau who
sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. Let's not sell out what is
precious for the allure of what will most likely end in difficulty
and entanglements or at the very least doesn't have eternal value
