Do Not Worry 

  Part 4

     Here in the USA most of us trust our money with faith in the security it brings, and that it will lead to happiness. We hear that millionaires and billionaires worry more than the rest of us.

     "Do not worry about your life," the teacher says. Seriously. By life, he meant food and clothes. He continues, "The Father feeds the birds, and you are much more valuable than birds. Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?"  

     Well, teacher, it's 2025, no worry about food and clothes for most of us. Banks crash, hurricanes and fires wipe out whole communities, we share the road with drunk drivers, and for some, the source of income no longer exists. China ships poison for us to eat. Iran wants to destroy Israel, and America too. And the teacher replies...

     "Do not worry. For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But, seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you. Don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

One more teaching, tomorrow

"As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." - Isaiah 55:9
