these verses from the
Book of Matthew, that
we must first seek the
kingdom of God and
His righteousness,
and then God will
provide for us!
If we are living in sin
If we are living in sin
(disobedience to God),
we cannot expect
God to bless us. Get
right with God first,
and then pray for your
"daily bread".
Words in red are the
words of the Lord
you, Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall
drink; nor yet for your
body, what ye shall
put on. Is not the life
more than meat,
and the body than
raiment [clothing]?
In the following Psalm,
Psalm 37:25
6:26 Behold the fowls
[birds] of the air: for
they sow not, neither
do they reap, nor
gather into barns;
yet your heavenly
Father feedeth
them. Are ye not
much better than
they?
6:27 Which of you by
taking thought can
add one cubit unto
his stature [height]?
6:28 And why take ye
thought for raiment?
Consider the lilies of
the field, how they
grow; they toil not,
neither do they spin:
6:29 And yet I say unto
you, That even
Solomon in all his
glory was not arrayed
like one of these.
6:30 Wherefore, if God
so clothe the grass of
the field, which to day
is, and to morrow is
cast into the oven,
shall he not much
more clothe you, O
ye of little faith?
6:31 Therefore take no
thought, saying, What
shall we eat? or, What
shall we drink? or,
Wherewithal shall we
be clothed?
6:32 (For after all these
things do the Gentiles
seek:) for your
heavenly Father
knoweth that ye have
need of all these things.
6:33 But seek ye first
the kingdom of God,
and his righteousness;
and all these things
shall be added unto
you.
6:34 Take therefore no
thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall
take thought for the
things of itself.
Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof.
In the following Psalm,
King David tells us that
God will provide for
the righteous, even
when we are old.
Psalm 37:25
I have been young,
and now am old; yet
have I not seen the
righteous forsaken,
nor his seed
[children] begging
bread.
Thank you, God in
heaven, for providing
for us!
