"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 than food, and the body more than clothes?"
This world is not eternal. We, who live in this world, are not eternal either, and we will fade away even faster than the world itself. Therefore, this world is both a witness to our finiteness and finite in its own nature.
Because God has placed eternity in our hearts, we, as finite beings living in a finite world, cannot help but worry. However, if this worry remains confined to seeking eternity within this world, it will only lead us to destruction-it is merely worldly concern. Eternity is found only in God. Today, we must seek God. When we enter into His presence, we can encounter the eternity that frees us from all worries.
Just as life is more important than food, and the body is more important than clothing, eternal life is more important than anything else. Yet, we often strive to improve our material living conditions while neglecting what truly sustains our life. Similarly, we are often busier trying to extend our finite life even slightly than seeking to obtain eternal life.
Without welcoming the Holy Spirit, who has come to us through the life of Jesus, into our hearts, we cannot escape these worldly concerns. What we truly need to be concerned about is whether or not we are with God.
2 Corinthians 7:10
"Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death."
John 14:27
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
