Does he mean just food and drink and clothing (vv25-32)?<br /><br />Matthew had just finished relating some very powerful teaching from Jesus, including the mind-blowing: "<i>Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.</i>"<br /><br />So often we try to get God on board with what <i>we</i> want - whether it's ignoring his instruction, skipping past the obedience we should give, or bargaining with Him in some sort of tit for tat arrangement...like God works that way!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this truth!<br /><br />XXanthorpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607212106936329296noreply@blogger.com
