One Day at a Time Sweet Jesus
1. How can we take just ONE DAY at a TIME? (Matt 6:25-33)
“Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body raiment…..behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not….yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?….Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow…..if God so clothe the grass of the field….O ye of little faith?
• Is worrying for the birds? (vv 26-27)
• Do flowers fade? (vv 28-31)
{Jesus was telling His disciples while preaching this sermon on the mountain – Matt 5, 6, 7 – that our Heavenly Father knows us and cares for us}
2. Who can take just ONE DAY at a TIME? (Matt 6:33)
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
• Putting Priorities in Proper Place (v. 33)
• Is Jesus #1 or #2 or #3 after job, family, or entertainment?
{How a person spends his or her TIME and MONEY is a good indicator where their heart is} How about you?
3. How can we take just ONE DAY at A TIME? (Matt 6:34)
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil there of.”
• Nothing wrong with planning – as the Lord wills
• But, as you (we) plan, don’t worry
• It’s a battle of trust instead of being anxious about the “what if’s”
Conclusion: How can we live in this world and not worry? Jesus says neither the birds of the air or the flowers of the field are worried about their food or clothing, so why should we worry since our Heavenly Father knows our needs.
