Matthew 6; Verses 28-34; No Worries and Worry Warts

Thank you for taking a look †


(Matthew 6:28-33) "And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

Everyone loves a beautiful flower, effortless in beauty.

A comparison whom and what God cares for more Christ begins with. Christ is still going over His creation here (Animals previously, as He created all for man--Genesis 1). The flowers don't grow tired/exhausted from their work, they certainly don't weave together. Spinning is the first step in weaving together. Christ is still referring to that weaving together of both eyes, being in perfect harmony with the eyes of God, of course through the Holy Spirit. Christ is referring to the rest in Him, and we begin to grow, that yoke (hooked at the neck, with the weight of the World on one's shoulders) of bondage to the World first, and not the Lord.

And of course Christ gave woe to the pharisees. all they did was strain at gnats swallowing the camel. Not seeing the big picture, sweating the small stuff.

29And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

(See below for comparisons).

30Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

(Christ using the analogy of that flower. Everyone loves a beautiful flower. In other words, the flower grows continuously effortlessly, but yet it fades away. Therefore, why worship that which is in vain? Believers? Won't be cast into that oven when Christ comes back, that is the elements of the Earth burned up, and the spiritual purging coming. (II Peter 3:10). Christ putting that question to us. You think you have faith? But look at what your doing. Faith in the temporary, not the eternal/everlasting. Christ was even teaching this to Peter to walk to Him on the water in complete dependency. A picture for us when life seems it's like it's sinking around us. It was at 4th watch. Remember Christ said about His coming at the second or third watch. Maybe even the 4th. The point there is if you think He is going to be late do not. The sea of course in the end-times for the people, and those who come against God's people. the wind was tossing the waves of the sea all around them. Just as satan comes with that might wind in/at the 6th seal. What did Christ warn Peter of? Having little faith. Please check the story in Matthew 14:22-33 and Revelation 6:12-13. Which is why Christ ask when He comes back will He find faith?

Now the pic is also for when satan comes at the 6th seal, 6th trumpet, and 6th vial. The 6th vial as he is is the King of Babylon. The three unclean spirits come out of the frog for the evil godhead/trinity. Remember that was one plague the children of Israel has to trust the Lord it would be done. The evil godhead/trinity = dragon satan himself. The beast = satan heading the one world system/new world order. The false prophet = satan claiming to be Christ/God.

Remember, we have little control over the outside factors in life. The things we cannot control. Such as the weather (the spiritual condition) here in the end-times. It is their choice. Christ also showing us we cannot control the weather in that respect, but we can control our decision to trust and faith in Him.


Back to Matthew 6:31,


31Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

The three necessities in life to function. Christ is using the excess of Solomon's (being blessed of God) reign in comparison with the essentials in life. Therefore, taking a deep look at what is most important.

32(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
(It's a given He knows. He is asking for complete dependency here not relying ourselves. Though we have to put it into action. Meaning, through faith you don't just sit around and do nothing. That goes for helping people too. As went over in James as well. Someone needs assisstance and you can help all is said I will pray? May the Lord bless you? Seriously? Then tomorrow say the Lord works through people? Let's make sure our actions match our mouth. Faith without works is dead).

(Gentiles here being pagan nations in context. So, Christ teaching here what later the disciples the apostles job was and is to do).

Which has become the way of the World: eat, drink, and be merry. But yet, no one is merry?

33But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

(So all in all, the emphasis is righteousness through Christ first. The condition acceptable to the Father, and then doing right. With the rest being in Christ, effortless work to gain and be satisfied as Solomon was. But of course Solomon slipped. Which no doubt Christ is giving us that example as well. Stick with it. We're not in this for gain as all will fade away. And Solomon later wrote Ecclesiastes. Concluding it was all a waste of time without putting God first, in heart, conscience, and in mind. That's one rough way to go never seeing God in and out of things in this world. It begins within you to see God on the outside. Without belief/repentance you can forget it. "The Kingdom of Heaven begins within you:", for this very reason).

34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

Conclusion. Live in the now through the eyes of the Lord, putting in order of importance by prioritizing. Not in a hurry to get this, or that. Running for something that will be gone--the chase. When chasing the carrot on the stick we should look at if the ends justifies the means? Cause and effect, our reasoning. Worrying and being a worry-wart just leaves you stuck. It will really is not based in reality as well as the things of this world will be burnt up giving us a "new" (rejuvenated) Heaven and earth.

Lastly, Christ did not say do not plan for tomorrow. He said do not worry. If your doing right today, trust in the Lord He has your back because He is walking on your side. We don't even know the details of tomorrow, let alone the adjustments of plans today. Therefore we should have a Godly goal. The day to day adjustments having Him give that protection. Having a goal overall will keep you inside the proper framework adjusting through the adversity that comes day to day. Just as Solomon had many Godly goals right from the get-go. Please check I Kings chapter 3 for that.

A couple references (there are many for this post):

(I Timothy 6:6-10) "But godliness with contentment is great gain.

7For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.

8And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.

9But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

10For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows."

(James 4:13-17) "Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:

14Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.

15For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.

16But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

17Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."
Amen †
