Putting an End to Worry Matthew 6:25–33

Worry is the sin of distrusting the promise and providence of God

It is also our most common sin. Faith and worry cannot occupy the same space in your head.

DON’T WORRY BECAUSE YOU ARE A SERVANT OF GOD, AND YOUR WELFARE IS HIS BUSINESS, NOT YOURS.

Matthew 6:25 25 “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?

DON’T WORRY BECAUSE YOUR MASTER OWNS EVERYTHING.

Psalm 24:1 1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him.

Everything we now have belongs to the Lord. Everything we will ever have actually belongs to the Lord.

DON’T WORRY BECAUSE YOUR MASTER IS IN CONTROL OF EVERYTHING.

1 Chronicles 29:12 12 Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.

Daniel recognized God’s control.

DON’T WORRY BECAUSE YOUR MASTER WILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING YOU WILL EVER NEED.

Matthew 6:28–30 28 “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, 29 yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. 30 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?

DON’T WORRY BECAUSE YOUR MASTER HAS YOUR ETERNAL DESTINY IN HIS HANDS.

Matthew 6:33 33 Seek the Kingdom of God* above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

The unbeliever has nothing except the perishable things of this world, but we possess eternal life and an eternal legacy.

Ah, the “Kingdom of God” again
