Matthew 6:25-34
“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 than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
 
Introduction: Worrying is for the birds! Do you feel like a bluebird, mockingbird or cardinal at times? Worldly care can weigh on our shoulders. In fact, it can weigh us down! Jesus gave us the remedy that brings instant relief from worry.

****Bottom Line****
“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.
