Matthew 6:25-34

I would like to share the following Scripture with you, from the book of Matthew. I encourage you to spend today reflecting on Christ's words:

6:25 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor about your body, what you shall put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
6:26 Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
6:27 And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit to his span of life?
6:28 And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin;
6:29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
6:30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O men of little faith?
6:31 Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'
6:32 For the Gentiles seek all these things; and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
6:33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things shall be yours as well.
6:34 "Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Let the day's own trouble be sufficient for the day.

Christ is telling us that we need not be anxious about the pursuit of material things. Instead, let us focus on our spiritual lives. Let us focus on our families and our homeschools. Let us focus on the formation of the souls that God has entrusted to us.
