Today, the children and I are reading Matthew 6. I love reading the teachings of Yeshua and asking you to apply these truths to my life. One of my favorite passages is Matthew 6:33-34. So, today I ask that you would help Jeremy apply these truths to his life.
Yeshua says to His disciples, “Donotbeanxiousaboutyourlife, whatyouwilleatorwhatyouwilldrink, noraboutyourbody, whatyouwillputon. Isnotlifemorethanfood, andthebodymorethanclothing?Lookatthebirdsoftheair:theyneithersownorreapnorgatherintobarns, andyetyourheavenlyFatherfeedsthem.Areyounotofmorevaluethanthey?Andwhichofyoubybeinganxiouscanaddasinglehourtohisspanoflife?Andwhyareyouanxiousaboutclothing?

Father, help Jeremy remember that you provide everything we need. He doesn’t need to overthink things. He doesn’t need to worry or fret, but he can trust in You. Give him faith that You care for him and his family.
Yeshua said, “Thereforedonotbeanxious, saying, ‘Whatshallweeat?’ or ‘Whatshallwedrink?’ or ‘Whatshallwewear?’FortheGentilesseekafterallthesethings, andyourheavenlyFatherknowsthatyouneedthemall.ButseekfirstthekingdomofGodandhisrighteousness, andallthesethingswillbeaddedtoyou.
Lord, help us to always seek Your Kingdom first. We don’t need to worry about tomorrow, but we do need to seek righteousness. Fill us with the desire to do RIGHT always. Help us not look to the left or to the right, but to only look to Yeshua, as our teacher and example of how to live each day.
Thank you for providing Your Son not only as our Servant Leader, Teacher, and Friend, but most of all as our Savior and Redeemer.
