Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Matt 6:26 “Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Matt 6:27 “Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature? Matt 6:28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; Matt 6:29 “and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matt 6:30 “Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? Matt 6:31 “Therefore do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ Matt 6:32 “For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. Matt 6:33 “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Webster’s, 1828) PROVIDENCE, n. [L. providentia.] 1. The act of providing or preparing for future use or application. Providence for war is the best prevention of it. [Now little used.] 2. Foresight; timely care; particularly, active foresight, or foresight accompanied with the procurement of what is necessary for future use, or with suitable preparation. How many of the troubles and perplexities of life proceed from want of providence! 3. In theology, the care and superintendence which God exercises over his creatures. He that acknowledges a creation and denies a providence, involves himself in a palpable contradiction; for the same power which caused a thing to exist is necessary to continue its existence. Some persons admit a general providence,but deny a particular providence, not considering that a general providence consists of particulars. A belief in divine providence, is a source of great consolation to good men. By divine providence is often understood God himself. (NKJV The MacArthur Study Bible © 1997 by John MacArthur, pg. 2020) MATTHEW “6:26 your heavenly and father feeds them. Obviously this in no way advocates a sinful kind of idleness. (Prov. 19:15). Birds are not idle, either. But it is God who provides them with food to eat. 6:27 add one cubit to his stature. The Gr. phrase may also refer to adding to one’s lifespan. 6:29 Solomon in all his glory. The Glory and pageantry of Solomon’s kingdom was famous worldwide. Cf. 2 Chr. 9. 6:30 you of little faith. Cf. 8:26; 14:31; 16:8; 17:20. This was the Lord’s recurring rebuke of the weak disciples. 6:33 kingdom of God. This is the same kingdom of heaven. See note on 3:2. It refers to the sphere of salvation—and with it would come the full care and provision of God. Cf. Rom. 9:32; Phil. 4:19; 1Pet. 5:7.” If you would like to start developing a relationship with Jesus Christ click the Manzanita Baptist Church’s Web Page link bellow. manzanitabaptist.org/ John 3:16 Num. 6:24-26
