It seems to be what
we do best. We spend our lives consumed
with trying to get enough food, drink, shelter, or clothing. Everything we do revolves around it. And for most of us, having enough is not
enough. We always strive to have more
than enough so that what we have will be enough in case something unexpected
comes our way.
Jesus is saying here
to not work for the necessities of life; He is saying don’t worry about whether
or not what you have is enough. He is
saying that life is so much more than what we have. He is saying that if we understand what life
is really all about, we will be content with what we have and what we have will
be enough.
Life doesn’t consist
of our food, clothing, drink, shelter, or anything else we might obtain in this
world. Life consists of how we relate to
God. Life is having a relationship with
God. If we don’t have a relationship
with God, we are dead. In other words,
real life is spiritual and not material.
We can have all the riches of earth and not be spiritually alive.
If you are blessed
with much, use what you have to bring God honor and glory with thanksgiving
from your heart. If you don’t have much,
be content with what you have with thanksgiving and use what you have for God’s
honor and glory. Trust God and He will
supply all your needs.
