Luke 12:22 Then Jesus said to his disciples: “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear.
The first three verses today are repeats from yesterday and the day before because verse 31 really needs the context. I often get caught up in reminders not to worry about my life, what I will eat, my body, what I will wear, but I can’t remember really noticing verse 31.
Luke 12:23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes.
It’s not just that I am not to worry because the Lord will take care of me. It is also that instead of worrying, I am to seek His kingdom. By doing that, all these things that I need–food, clothing, etc, will be given to me because I am focused on the right thing–God’s kingdom.
Luke 12:29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it.
Lord, You know I worry about everything. Thank You for continually reminding me to place my cares at Your feet, to set my mind on You and Your kingdom, and not to worry because You have got me. Help me, Lord. Amen.
Luke 12:31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.
Have a blessed day.
