Matthew 6:25 - Our Needs Are Met.
Matthew 6:25 (NIV) Therefore I tell you,
do not worry about your life, what you will eat
or drink; or about your body, what you will
wear. Is not life more important than food, and
the body more important than clothes?
Matthew 6:25 (NLT) That is why I tell you
not to worry about everyday life - whether you
have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to
wear. Isnt life more than food, and your body
more than clothing?
COMMENTARY PEARL
People have two great spiritual needs.
The first is forgiveness, which God has made
possible by sending His Son into the world to die for
our sins. Our second need is goodness, which God
also made possible by sending the Holy Spirit to
dwell within us. We actually have the glory of the
Lord with us in this life because His Spirit
abides in us. Do we really comprehend that the Lord
of all gives us a taste of His abundant
attributes while we are still in these earthly bodies?
Do our lives reflect this?
As needy people we ask the Lord for many
things: food, clothing, jobs, homes, a spouse,
children, and more. Our minds are focused on our
physical needs. Instead, Paul prayed that the Holy
Spirit will guide us in all truth and wisdom: "I
pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources
he will empower you with inner strength through
his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in
your hearts as you trust in him" (Ephesians
3:16-17 NLT). This is a wonderful promise.
Do you pray for your spiritual needs,
your physical needs, or both? [Peace for Each Day
