We are very anxious people. We all have fears about how we are going to provide for ourselves or others. We’re fearful and anxious about being lonely, of bad health, of not living up to others’ expectations or even our own. We all have fears and concerns that drive and dominate how we live our lives. Why do we fear? Why are we anxious? In this passage, Jesus instructs His disciples about the sin of anxiety, of which the root is unbelief.
Theme: Anxiety over basic necessities results from our lack of faith and misplaced priorities.
