“所以我告诉你们，不要为生命忧虑吃甚么喝甚么，也不要为身体忧虑穿甚么。难道生命不比食物重要吗？身体不比衣服重要吗？”
马太福音 6:25
““Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?”
Matthew 6:25
In the movie - bridge of spies, James Donavan was seen to ask his client Rudolf Abel (who he had to defend and help to send back to his country) this question: aren't you worried? The answer was: would it help?
We tend to worry and have a lot of worries in life. And they all seem to crowd in around bill time, don't they? Jesus reminded us that life is more than food or clothes.
The real question is whether we can live like life is more than food and clothing.
We get deceived so easily, like Esau who sold his birthright for a bowl of soup. Let's not sell out what is precious for the allure of what will most likely end in difficulty and entanglements or at the very least doesn't have eternal value.
In the verse above, Jesus has commanded us to not worry. And like the answer in the movie above to the worries in life, we can ask ourselves: would it help?
