How much do we really trust God? 11/10/19

Matthew 6:25-26  (NASB)

25 “For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they? 

 

 

 

 

Matthew 6:19, 22  (NASB)

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 

22 “The eye is the lamp of the body; so then if your eye is clear, your whole body will be full of light.

Isaiah 26:3 New Living Translation (NLT)

3 You will keep in perfect peace
    all who trust in you,
    all whose thoughts are fixed on you!

 

 

 

Matthew 6:27-30  (NASB)

27 And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life? 28 And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, 29 yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith! 

 

 

Point number 2 in your notes:

To worry is to show a distrust of God.

 

 

 

John 14:1 New Living Translation (NLT)

14 “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.

 

 

Jeremiah 17:5-8 New Living Translation (NLT)

5  “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord.

7 “But blessed are those who trust in the Lord
    and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. 8 They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water.

 

 

 

Matthew 6:31-33  (NASB)

 

31 Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ 32 For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

 

 

 

Point number 3 in your notes:

When we worry about the small things, we take our eye off the Main thing.

34 “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
