Application Steps:
Make a list of the things you are worried about. If there is an action you need to take, pray for favor and take it. Then leave the results with your Father in Heaven. If it betrays a lack of faith, or failure to focus your life on the things that matter to God, confess it and allow Spirit to redirect your priorities.
Questions for reflection and discussion:
-
Read Luke 12:22-32. Where does God stop you? Why?
-
Look at verses 13-21. How does this section connect to that section?
-
What is the most general problem with worrying?
-
What does Jesus mean when he says that life is more than food and the body more than clothing?
-
What is the lesson to be learned from unclean ravens and purple water lilies?
-
What is your most recurrent worry that you can do nothing about?
-
From what you currently understand about the Kingdom of God, why would it be valuable enough to you to cause you to seek it? What does it mean to seek it? What does Jesus mean when he says, “It is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom?”
