Good morning everyone and welcome back to another mornings with the masters where we devote

ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning, you guys. Good morning indeed. We were

picking up with day two of our how to stop worrying devotional in the Bible app. There's a link

to that in the description if you guys want to follow along with us and the scriptures all

open this one so Tories is going to take from here. Yes y'all let's do it. Today's devotional is

titled What Jesus said about worry and it says this in Matthew 6 Jesus is continuing his sermon

on the mount that began in chapter 5 and extends through the end of chapter 7. In this popular

teaching Jesus gives instruction about prayer, anger, adultery as well as other topics. He just

finished speaking about money and possessions when he journeys into the topic of worry. Matthew 6 24

and 25 says no one can serve two masters for you will hate one and love the other. You will be

devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and be enslaved to money. That is why

I tell you not to worry about everyday life. Jesus told us not to worry because he knows

that our infatuation with money will take our affection off of serving God. That's a mic drop.

But our worries often go beyond money struggles. There are many concerns we face daily that seem

to warrant a worry stance. Let's look at why Jesus told us not to worry. First worry benefits no

one. Jesus taught that worry is futile. It produces no fruit. There's absolutely nothing that comes

from it. Worrying would make sense if it was productive, but it isn't. Worrying about a situation

doesn't prevent it from happening. Yet we engage in it often instead of making the choice not to.

Next worry is unnecessary. Jesus told us in Matthew 6 that the birds in the air and the flowers

in the field are provided for and they're just birds and flowers. How much more does he care for us

an immense amount. He cares for us more than he cares for other created things. He didn't die on

the cross for them. He died for us. So if they're provided for won't we be last but not least.
