People today have numerous reasons to worry and to be anxious about their life. Reasons include rampant crime and murder, chronic diseases, the high cost of living, etc. But Jesus says, “Do not worry about your life, as to what you will eat, nor for your body, as to what you will put on” (Luke 12:22, NASB).
For believers, God is our heavenly Father. It is a basic requirement for a father to provide for his children. And God is more than able to provide for us. He can do “far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think….” (Ephesians 3:20, NASB). That’s why we should find it hard to obey the words of Jesus: “Do not worry about your life.”
It should be no surprise that Jesus addressed this all-important subject during His public ministry. Being human, we all experience periods of anxiety and worry. But if you really trust God, your life will not be dominated by worry. That does not mean you will never worry, but your life will not be dominated by worry.
The reason this subject resonates with us so deeply is because many people today are seriously worried or anxious about something or several things in life. Through His teachings, Jesus challenges us to live life on a higher level because God is our provider. He wants His children to trust Him. The clear evidence of genuine trust in God is the absence of excessive anxiety and worry in your life.
