• Do not store up for yourselves treasures on
  earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where
  thieves break in and steal. But store up for
  yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and
  rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not
  break in and steal. For where your treasure is,
  there your heart will be also...

• No one can serve two masters. Either he will
  hate the one and love the other, or he will be
  devoted to the one and despise the other. You
  cannot serve both God and Money -
  Matthew 619-21, 24

• Faith
• 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
  important than food, and the body more important
  than clothes? -Matt.625
• - Focuses on the things that matter most

• Faith
• Look at the birds of the air they do not sow or
  reap or store away in barns, and yet your
  heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more
  valuable than they? - Vs. 26

• Faith

  his life? - Vs.27
• Knows how strong God is when I am most helpless
• BToL- My helplessness sets me free to trust God
  more

• Faith
• And why do you worry about clothes? See how the
  lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or
  spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in
  all his splendor was dressed like one of these.
  If that is how God clothes the grass of the
  field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown
  into the fire, will he not much more clothe you,
  O you of little faith? - Vs.28-30

12

• Faith
• Finds Gods love and care surrounding me

13

• Faith
• So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or
  'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?
  For the pagans run after all these things, and
  your heavenly Father knows that you need them -
  Vs. 31-32
• - Says, Whos your Daddy?

14

• Faith
• But seek first his kingdom and his
  righteousness, and all these things will be given
  to you as well- Vs. 33
• - Serves one Master seeks Gods kingdom and his
  righteousness

15

• Faith
• Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
  tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has
  enough trouble of its own - Vs. 34
• - Lives each day one day at a time, fully and
  with faith

16

• Worry vs. Faith
• What do I have to worry about?
• Is God bigger than these things?
