“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?
– Matthew 6:25-27 (NIV)
Today’s commentary
by Dave Whitehead, Author of Making Sense of the Bible
This parable not only tells us how much God will provide for us; we are also made aware of how valuable we are. Yet we keep trying to gauge our value by what we wear, or how we will be provided for. It seems that our anxieties are based more upon a low sense of our self worth than our external circumstance, for our Heavenly Father has promised to watch over us in all situations.
