April 30 - Take No Thought.

Matthew 6:25
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?”
 
Anxiety has become a common thing today. 
Fear of the unknown or what could happen abounds. 
 
This is not the way that God wants us to live. 
 
Jesus Himself addressed the anxiety of His disciples.
 
Matthew 6:31-32
“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”
 
There is no reason to be nervous today. 
The Lord has everything under control. 
 
Matthew 6:33
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
 
Our responsibility is to seek Him first, then He will give us what we need.
 
Matthew 6:34
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
 
There is no need to fear tomorrow, He already knows.
Nothing can affect God’s children except that which He allows. 
He filters every single thing according to His will for our lives. 
 
Why should we worry then? 
Paul admonished the church of Philippi of what they should worry about.
 
Philippians 4:6
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.”
