Matthew 6 25 2611/11/2023 ![]() I call it a “ Postcard from Paradise” moment – where you get a glimpse of another better world. I don’t know if you’ve ever had a moment like that. Not a cloud in the sky.Īnd I remember looking at the postcard, and then looking out my front door at the grey skies and rain lashing down, and then back at the postcard, and thinking, why can’t I be there, instead of here? And eventually I got home, shivering, dripping, miserable, and I open my door, and on the floor there’s a postcard, from a friend who was on holiday in the Caribbean. So you can probably guess what happened.Īs I was walking home the sky turns black and there’s a great clap of thunder and the heavens opened not so much raining cats and dogs, as elephants and giraffes. And quite often I’d walk to meetings there.Īnd on this particular day, I hadn’t brought a coat. ![]() It was a few years ago now, when I used to live about a mile from the church I was working at. Let me tell you about a rainy-day in my life. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?Ģ8“And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Barry Unwin, Upton & Welland, 19 February 2017Ģ5“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink or about your body, what you will wear.
