22 And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. 23 For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment. 24 Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds! 25 And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? 26 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. Luke 12: 22-30 ASV
Today we will be talking about what will be added or given. We have been on this idea of seeking first ye the Kingdom and have used Luke 12: 31 as a basis for our messages on this Idea. But what is that which will be given or added as you learned yesterday depending on the translation? let's dive in and find out. (I will be numbering them as I go the things given or added)
The first thing that will be given or added is not to be anxious about your life. you should not worry about what you are to eat. It goes on to say that life is more than food. It says that we have more value than the bird's example used is the raven and he does not sow or reap but God feeds them. it means that if God will feed the birds so much so don't you think he will feed us? We are not to seek what we are to eat and to drink because the world seeks after these things. But God in heaven knows we need these things.
The second thing that will be given or added is the body, or what you put on it. For life is more important than the raiment's (clothing) on your body. It also talks about to not be anxious about this either. The example of this is that God clothes the grass in the field which is alive today and tomorrow which is then cast into the oven how much more so will he clothes us, you of little faith? We are not to worry about what to wear, God will give us what we need to be clothed for God gave clothes to Adam and Eve. And Jehovah God made for Adam and for his wife coats of skins, and clothed them. Genesis 3:21
The third thing that is not mentioned here but is one that God will give us added to us and that is a place to lay our heads. 8 All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah sware unto your fathers. Another version says roof over your head. so we are not to worry about where we are to live and sleep.
The final thing we are given or added is not to be doubtful of these things. God gives an example of each one and if we believe God will take care of us like the examples. About these things, we are not to worry and give heed to the worry.
So go in faith that God will provide these things for you and do not worry about it. Have a Blessed Day!!!
