Worry ( Matthew 6 v 34 )

In Matthew 6 v 25 - 34, our Saviour tells us to not worry as regards 'What shall we eat?, what shall we drink?, what shall we wear'. He reassures his followers by pointing to creation and how God cares and provides for the birds of the air,and that to God we are more valuable than them.He then tells them that all the world is concerned with is eating ,drinking and wearing.Our Saviour tells his followers ,that they are not to worry about those things, for God will provide,but He stipulates what they  are to do,'Seek first Gods kingdom and his  righteousness, and all those things will be given to  them as well' (Matthew 6 v 33 ) In light of what He says Jesus tell them not to worry,it is John Stott who writes,'Worry is forbidden; it is incompatible with Christian faith'.
