“Don’t Worry About Your Life”...Matthew 6:25-34

Matthew 6

v.24— “No one can be a slave of two
masters, since either he will
hate one and love the other, or
be devoted to one and despise
the other. You cannot be slaves
of God and of money.”

v.25— “This is why I tell you: Don’t
worry about your life, what
you will eat or what you will
drink; or about your body, what
you will wear.”

v.30—“…won’t He do much more for
you— you of little faith?”

v.33—“But seek first the kingdom of
God and His righteousness, and
all these things will be provided
for you.”
