31 “Kaya’t huwag kayong mag-alala na baka kayo kapusin sa pagkain, inumin o damit.32 Hindi ba’t ang mga Hentil ang nababahala tungkol sa mga bagay na ito? Alam na ng inyong Ama na nasa langit na kailangan ninyo ang lahat ng ito.33 Ngunit higit sa lahat ay bigyang-halaga ninyo ang kaharian [ng Diyos][a] at ang pamumuhay nang ayon sa kanyang kalooban, at ibibigay niya sa inyo ang lahat ng mga bagay na ito.
34 “Kaya nga, huwag ninyong alalahanin ang bukas; sapagkat ang bukas ang mag-aalala sa sarili niya. Sapat na ang inyong mga suliranin sa bawat araw.”
Sermon Description
Jesus encourages his followers not to be consumed by worry about basic necessities like food, drink, and clothing. He contrasts this with the behavior of the Gentiles (non-believers) who anxiously seek after material things. Instead, Jesus advises seeking God’s kingdom and righteousness as the primary focus. Trusting in God’s care and providence, believers should prioritize spiritual matters over material concerns.
PRIORITIZE GOD Rather than obsessing over material needs, focus on growing in your relationship with God and living righteously.
TRUST GOD’S PROVISION Recognize that God knows your needs and will provide for you.
RELEASE ANXIETY Let go of unnecessary worry and trust that seeking God’s kingdom will lead to fulfillment.
Matthew 6:31-34 reminds us to seek God first, trust His provision, and release anxiety about material concerns. It’s a call to live with faith and reliance on our heavenly Father.
