Matthew 6:26 says, Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?  Jesus tells us to look at the birds of the air.  Birds don't sow, or reap or gather crops into barns, or storage.  Jesus tells us that the heavenly Father feeds them.  Some people would say the is just mother nature that does this, but it we are followers of Christ, then we now that it is much more than just a random act.  We have to acknowledge that God sustains the universe that He created.  Then, Jesus asks if we are not better than the birds.  If God provides food for the birds, then we should know that He will do the same for us.  I don't believe that this means that we are to just sit back and do nothing, but that we are to have faith that if we are doing God's will, then we don't have to worry about food or any other material thing.  God will provide for our needs if we put Him first.  Verse twenty-seven asks, Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?  I believe that the emphasis here is that God creates our bodies to be a certain size, and we cannot make ourselves grow any taller than we are created to be.  We may be able to make ourselves larger, or even to stunt our growth from what it would be, but we cannot make ourselves taller.  Just like spending time or thought to make ourselves taller is a waste, so is worrying about what we will eat or wear.  Verse twenty-eight asks, And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:  As I just stated, we are not to worry about our raiment, or clothing.  Jesus tells us to consider the lilies of the field.  Like the birds, they do not labor and toil, nor do they spin cloth to array themselves in.  Verse twenty-nine declares, And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.  Jesus tells us that Solomon in all his glory, dressed in his finest, was not arrayed as beautifully as the lilies.  Verse thirty says, Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?  Jesus asks if God can provide even for the grass of the field, which is here one day and gone the next, then why do we as God's people lack the faith to rely on God to meet our needs.  Verse thirty-one says, Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?  I believe that this means that we are not to be worried about these things, but are to live in the faith that God will provide them.  Verse thirty-two states, (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.  Jesus tells us that the Gentiles, those who were not God's people, sought after these things, or we might say put there emphasis on material things.  Though we may have been Gentiles in the days of Jesus, through faith in Christ as Savior and Lord we are now a part of God's family.  As such, Jesus tells us that the heavenly Father knows our needs, even before we ask.  Verse thirty-three states, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.  Jesus tells us to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness first.  This means we are to put God above everything else.  When we do, God will meet all our physical or material needs.  Verse thirty-four states, Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.  We might say that this is a fiscally irresponsible way to live, but Jesus tells us to not worry about these material things but to rely on God to provide for our needs.  We never know what day will be our last, so we are not to worry about the evils of tomorrow, but are to simply live by faith each day.
