Why Should We "Not Worry about Tomorrow"? - Topical Studies

30 Apr
Too many of us are familiar with it. A tight feeling in the chest. Butterflies in the stomach. A sense of impending doom. Even for those not previously plagued by anxiety, it is hard to remain unaffected by the fog of worry that settled over the globe in 2020. Worrying seems like a natural response to the challenging nature of life on the earth, but Scripture provides insight on the supernatural means of thriving even amidst uncertain times.

What Did Jesus Mean When He Said 'Do Not Worry for Tomorrow Will Worry about Itself'?
Early in the book of Matthew, Jesus had just begun his ministry after being baptized (3:13-17) and being tempted by Satan in the wilderness (4:1-11). As he engaged in preaching, he drew people to him, including his disciples (4:18-22), but also crowds of people desperate for hope. Jesus healed many of them from sickness and oppression (4:23-25), and then he went up on a mountain and began to teach the disciples in the context of active ministry.
