ChessMaster wrote:But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you - Have you ever wondered what all these things are? Very good observation. Let us see what "things" mean? Looking at the preceeding text in ... “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? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away inbarns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life (or single cubit to his height)? And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor wasdressed like one of these.If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you,O you of little faith? So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them...So the "things" point to basic needs & wants. But NB: That our worries should be channled at the kingdon & its righteoesness. Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.
