Matthew 6:31-32 (NKJV) 31 \u201cTherefore do not worry, saying, \u2018What shall we eat?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we drink?\u2019 or \u2018What shall we wear?\u2019 32 For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ve been enjoying this teaching series so far. Let\u2019s get started with the final segment.<\/p>\n

In verse 31, above, Jesus once again tells the people not to worry. By now He has made it abundantly clear that worrying is not something good.<\/p>\n

Now, take note of something important that will help us bring all of this full circle.<\/p>\n

As we wrapped up part 3, yesterday, we made it a point to mention that Jesus wanted them to understand the importance of trusting in God instead of worrying about \u201cthese things\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese things\u201d is quoted for a reason; to help draw attention to that two-word phrase that Jesus used in verse 36, where He told us that if we seek first the kingdom of God, all of \u201cthese things\u201d shall be added to you.<\/p>\n

Do you see where we\u2019re going with this?<\/p>\n

When Jesus said that \u201call these things shall be added to you<\/span>\u201d, He was referring specifically to the things that he had just spoken about seconds earlier; food, drink and clothing.<\/p>\n

He wanted them to understand that if they put God first, making a sincere and honest effort seeking Him and His kingdom, instead of spending countless hours worrying about things that were not as important, God would supply their needs.<\/p>\n

And He did this by using examples of things they were already familiar with, such as birds, flowers and grass.<\/p>\n

So, if we go back to Matthew 6:33, where we started in part 1, and we consider the words of Jesus, \u201call these things shall be added to you<\/span>\u201d, what are the things that will be added to us if we seek God\u2019s kingdom and His righteousness first, before everything else?<\/p>\n

All our basic needs; food, drink, clothing. All the things that are necessary for our survival and overall wellbeing.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about riches, material possessions, luxuries or any other such things.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the food we eat, the liquids we need to drink and the clothes we need to cover our bodies.<\/p>\n

And what is required of us that we will be supplied with these things by our heavenly Father? That we seek Him and His righteousness first!<\/p>\n

We hope you\u2019ve enjoyed and learned from this series.<\/p>\n

We love you all!<\/p>\n
