Matthew 6:25-34

Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25–34 remind us that worry adds nothing to our lives—but trust in Him changes everything.

When we let fear take the wheel, it’s usually because our faith has drifted into the back seat. Fear is a result of faithlessness. It whispers that God might not show up this time, that the unknown is somehow bigger than His plan. But friend, the unknown doesn’t exist to God—He is omniscient, omnipresent, and omnipotent. There is no surprise waiting around the corner for the One who already holds tomorrow in His hands.

Fear also results in fruitlessness. When our minds are tangled in worry, our hands are too full to serve. Anxiety about “what if” keeps us from the “what now” of God’s Kingdom work. Jesus didn’t tell us to seek comfort or certainty—He told us to seek first the Kingdom of God and trust that everything else will fall into place.

And finally, fear reveals forgetfulness. We forget the countless times God has already carried us, provided for us, and proved His goodness. The same God who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies has promised to care for you.

So this week, let’s trade fear for faith. Let’s remember that the God who has never failed us yet is not about to start now. Trust Him with what you can’t see, and focus on what you can do for His glory.

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.” — Matthew 6:34
