Teaching about Money and Possessions

Teaching about Money and Possessions

Jesus said...
"So I tell you, don't worry about everyday life--whether you have enough food to eat or clothes to wear.
For life consists of far more than food and clothing.
Look at the ravens. They don't need to plant or harvest or put food in barns because God feeds them... And you are far more valuable to him than any birds!
Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? Of course not!
And if worry can't do little things like that, what's the use of worrying over bigger things?

Look at the lilies and how they grow. They don't work or make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are.
And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today and gone tomorrow, won't he more surely care for you?
You have so little faith! And don't worry about food--what to eat and drink. Don't worry whether God will provide it for you.
These things dominate the thoughts of most people, but your Father already knows your needs.
He will give you all you need from day to day if you make the Kingdom of God your primary concern.
So don't be afraid, little flock.
For it gives your Father great happiness to give you the Kingdom.

Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be.
