Mt 6:33-34 - But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.
We are not to be anxious about tomorrow. We are not to be anxious about anything. Anxiety is fearing trouble upon yourself. Jesus said that we are not to worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will be anxious for itself. There is enough trouble in the day that each day is enough to worry about. But, what is amazing about this command is that before it, it isays to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. If we seek God and fear God, we will not be anxious about anything. When we consider God and his power, and holiness and goodness and faithfulness, all our anxieties will fade away.
The result and reward of fearing God is blessing. Fearing and trusting in God results in help, a shield and overwhelming blessing. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. Therefore, fearing God brings blessing. When we are anxious, when we fear situations more than we fear God, we will not experience his blessing. This couldn’t be any more clear of a warning for us to not be anxious and an initiation to fear God unto blessing.
