DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY

Jesus said,  "Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; nor about the body, what you will put on.  Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing."   
Luke 12:22-23 NKJV

Jesus commands us not to worry; but to put our faith and trust in Him

God provides for the birds; will He not provide for you?
"Consider the ravens, for they neither sow nor reap, which have neither storehouse nor barn; and God feeds them.  Of how much more value are you than the birds?"
Luke 12:24 NKJV

Worrying accomplishes nothing.  
"And which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?  If you then are not able to do the least why are you anxious for the rest?"  Luke 12:25-26 NKJV

God dresses the meadows with colorful flowers; will he not clothe you?
"Consider the lilies, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?"   Luke 12:27-28 NKJV

People groups of the world are seeking first basic things in life; food, clothing and shelter.  God want us to seek first after Him and receive His righteousness; and God will be our provider.
"And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, or have an anxious mind.  For all these things the nations of the world seek after and your Father knows that you need these things." Luke 12:29-30 NKJV

"But seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added."  Matthew 6:33 NKJV
