If we’re locked into this world’s values, any fiscal crisis or constraint can leave us feeling deprived and scared. Jesus tells us, “Don’t worry.” (For an uplifting Bible study project, look for all the places where Scripture tells God’s people, “Don’t be afraid.” Luke 12:32 and John 14:37 are good starting points.)
- Jesus approaches this passage from two angles. His main point is that worry puts our attention on the wrong things (verse 33). What does your life look like when you are focused on God’s kingdom and righteousness? How does worry take you away from that kind of life?
- Jesus also makes the more practical point that worry usually doesn’t do any good (verse 27). Can you think of things you spent considerable time and energy worrying about that never came to pass? How does worry differ from sensible foresight and precautions?
