Jesus wraps up his teaching on the topic of worry in this week’s passage.

Take a look at Matthew 6:31-34.

We’ve been memorizing this passage on worry for a few weeks now. Jesus wraps it up this week with some incredible advice on how to avoid worry.

Do a simple Google search on how to avoid worry and you will find dozens of ideas and suggestions.

But Jesus offers the simplest, and most practical suggestion of all.

Seek first his kingdom, and his righteousness.

In other words, get your priorities straight.

Look after his business, and he will take care of yours.

Don’t worry about what you can’t control anyway.

I know. Easier said than done. But still, our focus is to be on the work of Christ in this world. When we keep the main thing the main thing, all the peripherals will fall into place.

And you know what? They always end up being better than I could have done on my own anyway

So why worry?

What do you do to remind yourself to seek first his kingdom? Let me know in the comments.
