Matthew 6:25-26
25) Therefore, I tell you, don‘t be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on. Isn‘t life more than food, and the body more than clothing?
26) See the birds of the sky, that they don‘t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren‘t you of much more value than they?

So turning the Bible to Matthew chapter six verses twenty five and twenty six, while court shall have fifteen minutes that will be a miracle. Matthew chapter six verses twenty five and twenty six, and again women speaking the last month or so on our position in Christ, meaning that whatever we have Jesus Christ in our life. We have, we reenter a different position. The different outlook in life women different perspective. Last week we spoke about the armor of God, and how that in this position that we have with God. We have a covering aim and armament that we are to go forth into everyday life while today I want us to read versus twenty five and twenty six 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 look at the birds of the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they solve the challenge then in our position in life is that we are not to with the word I was a lot worrying and not so very Aymara position as a child of God is one of relationship. A relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship makes everything possible what is impossible with God nothing is impossible with God, then what becomes of our well I nothing is impossible with our life. The things that we feel dear member. This illustration believes I can use money on the offering, Google aims no one 's getting up the Malaysian government dollar ahead of Brian, I don't think he collects the money. Everyone I do this for it. Thank you very much. He believes in me write more now while the fact that the that you remember the story that goes with it. Now, your first thoughts were, while trying to get the money. I know, but the idea is this what keeps you in your seat. Why did everybody get what we don't need a dollar, while about a thousand dollars to the head that the area now you're seeing right out of the box. I bought what keeps you in your seat is now doubt and fear, doubt, he's not really going to give it to me and fear him to look down. I will look needy. I'm the best, but you know what the price is high enough, although but will wait and see those very things they keep us in our seats are the very things that stop us from opportunities that present themselves in our life. That's the challenge of our faith and our relationship with Jesus that Jesus wants us to become. But we don't become because of fear and doubt. We fear what other people are going to say know what they're what will look like and we doubt whether or not we can accomplish in the challenge then is, how do we overcome those things that keep us in the seat. I still get stuck in my seat with opportunities and things like that. I still don't education sometimes are we smart enough for me was always my smart enough to go back to college and I put that off for thirty years and I had to Maryland back in LA, but I have a wife. Then it helped me find the lifetime yet so the relationship on our relationship with Jesus Christ gives his perspective Ryan Ryan 's relationship with me and the money you have given him a different perspective. Now it's something that comes out when it comes up to understand me, you thought we know we know what a nozzle to give the money. Why, because he knows I'd never taken away from them in the past and why should I start down from all the people 's onlookers start now. So therefore, getting up and getting it is just the outline because he knows and trusts that I want to give everybody while God in our relationship gives us perspective on life. So we're not to worry, I found some interesting definitions for work. It was in the message dictionary online so the transit. The transitive transitive. The separate were transitive verb for wearing the transitive verb for work is to show strangle vote. Don't worry about life. Don't show your life well this one to harass by tearing biting or snapping. I get back to the lady who was in front of me driving this morning. Greg called and said the first is a working, so I felt down there), while I was eating on the car, and I'm flying down the road in Charlotte. I come on lady who wants to drive Kimberly ten miles an hour below the speed limit and I am harassing, biting, carrying and snapping at this late June, going to last until she got to the thirty five mana is the limit and limber and daisies benefited ivories like lady in our ninth wedding that are the hallway from sadly November and again in town again on the I don't understand it. I was tearing snapping biting whenever, where he is to change the position or adjust by repeated questioning or hauling worry wait for good definitions are because therefore I tell you, don't worry about your life, another one to a sale with Rob or aggressive attacks or treatment sale with aggressive attacks or treatment don't like torment or struggle is another word where even now man's means a mental distress or agitation resulting from concerned. Concerned usually for something impending or anticipated, called anxiety. So when were talking the Scriptures of the not to worry, it's telling us not to go on and anxiety trip will become tormented are struggling now choking or strangling every Edward biting at the bit. What got me yellow horse 's bridle under biting at the bit. They're anxious to get started. Don't worry about my dog biting at the bit, so don't worry about life, about what you will eat or drink or your body, what you will put on the balance here is that we watch QVC RAA RHS anarcho shopping networks, and I I'd I really know I like, so as to how many of those momentum is stopped on those shopping channels is for what you would be what you would put on about ninety five percent of it. If so, what are they telling you, you need and what I was saying don't worry, and what a notebook. There's only five thousand one. At this price five thousand and and anal and I got two dozen of this color your battery. I now have your women because you don't want to be left out when it creating anxiety and worry that you can be left out and you need to wear these for they fit perfect. Your even try. My health companies illegally in the store and pick up something at the start, and Brianna love my wife is that for because I I hate trying on clothes but will SH have all of the latest you get these things fit perfectly luckily thin on this person, but I just like that are you all by adding free shipping and handling the new living translation says that is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life broken anxious that the grid over everyday life in that one up in your, feel my game. He is the lot, but it will not send any and all that confident the Britton, Terry getting here. I went to do is start harnessing all the cold, and it's up and running in and out fine in the Google Chile for Sunday school, but nothing unbearable. Once I got to worry about everyday life. When you have enough food or drink, or calls his life more than food and body more than raiment. So what are our priorities. Our relationship with Jesus Christ changes our priorities. The message Bible says if you decide, for God living a life of God worship don't worry about life live a life of God worship King James is the wearing goblets rejuvenated efforts. I do not worry about life what you will you drink it, saying the live the message Bible says if you decided for God living a life of God worship our position in life is one of worship, one of which we are recognizing our relationship with Christ and that we have found the author and finisher of faith, we have found the author of life and investigations, we have celebrated communion, and the communion tells us a lot do this in remembrance of me on the Jesus who came and died for our sins and rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, the Holy Spirit has come to be with us and teach us of the guys of the law firm to give us a perspective of life. The message by the sign for God living a life of God worship. It follows that you don't fuss about what's on the table at meal times or whether the clothes in your closet are in fashion now there's a balance here. Yell if I were up here and now I have a book. Our services lavender carpal pastor has a purple shirt on the fifth of June eighty. There's far more to your life, then the food you put in your stomach and more to your outer appearance than the closer to hang in your body. Life is more than what we do what we put on, but it's important that we see that our life is more than food and fashion no week in and is and I had. I'm not saying we should wear grubby clothes. My son loves to shop at Goodwill. He conveys his dad who believe I bought low screening if I get upset when I come across people who buy things really good, cheap as I like to buy really good expensive as I can never find really good shape. I a lot just terrible at finding that stuff, but why look at the birds free and other unfettered, not tied down to a job description careless in the care of God careless is not reckless care less is carefree as it were in the care of God. So not tied down to a job description. The the biggest thing that seems within the state. When God opportunities are presented to lots is that that is not kind of who I am. That's not what people think of me, and that's not what people think I should be doing general wonder what people think general wonder what people are thinking about you yell for two cents. I give you a piece of my mind. You know what keep the money you need that you need your sense. You don't have enough sense to share you see we are not, we live in a box on our own expectations and are limitations and the perspective that other people have on us. That's what the Scriptures telling us if you live in a box of what your perspective is and what other people tell you you're going to dress a certain way you're going to eat a certain types of food. Your order is certain places, and you're going to go to certain establishments drive certain cars. You're going to get a ride and is it wrong to have certain cars or even the certain establishment and isn't that these places are wrong or that we shouldn't have fashion things like that. It's that when we landed in the box and that we think of ourselves within the confines of what that box is and what the job description on that box is what preachers don't know there preachers don't do that, preachers, you know there's lots of expectations. Job descriptions of what creatures are and I try to break all those as I can. I try to make as many of those possible because I know I I don't want to be in their NL appraisers are supposed to do that while you don't want this one. I'm just a little different, maybe a lot different if I can. Here's what you say is that only a hell of an island about her all-male leadtime is the other day down at the concert somebody that said about while ill call in timeout timeout concert. Please people, they have five revolts motorhome womb. I'm the only one that five of course not. They started a million dollars. Approximately when I retirement have my pickup truck and attention back when I want to frame a slowdown will now I will mostly look for slide outs. You know you got a five hundred dollars the parking yell and eight. I can take on the campground is to be all you want to know what you know it's always nice to be encouraged if it's nice to feel wanted and know that nothing is impossible with God. You got the job description. Anyone with you. I wanted anything probably not, but that's the whole point, why, why we said in our box. Why do we look at our life and not get out of the pew. Why is it that we won't, yet the dollar. The ten dollars or fifty dollars of the job opportunity or whatever and if it's giving us in the box you see, God has a purpose and that purpose for us is his natural is understanding that look at the birds free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description care less in the care of their father. You see, it isn't that we don't plan them. We don't have purpose and we know you know store in the Barnes and Milbank says it's not the stomach. This is about. It's about recognizing how much of our life is confined by our own limitations and by our own expectations of what we think we can do, what does God think of you. How does he plan for your life as a plan for within the confines of what you think you can do or does he plan within the within the bouncy of what he can provide can only live outside of our own job description and look at our life. How good God and Jesus is saying to the birds of the year. Look at the birds of the air, your father takes care of them and how they live in a carefree care less caramelized care less, not reckless care less perspective of how they will take care of their life. God is telling us look at the thing, consider how God is taking care of them now look at that for your own life, that your life is not conduct confined to your job perspective. Your perspective who you are. Our life is set free by the God who pushes down our boundaries pushes down our borders takes the seed of who we are the end of the trip. The qualities in an personality and talents that we have and he blesses those and then he says let's go and become move out of your script your box, step out in faith believing in the relationship that God has with you and become the person, the government should be that consider the birds of the show is it's called God confidence was trying to think of God confidence God confidence that I can step out on my little perspective of life and become what God wants me to be. Father thankedSo turning the Bible to Matthew chapter six verses twenty five and twenty six, while court shall have fifteen minutes that will be a miracle.
