Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.
The joy of Kingdom living cannot coexist in a heart that is anxious [very large period]. Anxiety corrodes and corrupts joy. It destroys Kingdom peace. And a life that is characterized by a lack of joy and peace is a life that is characterized by an unrighteous spirit. Bingo, I might as well fall back on legalistic dependency upon eating and drinking. (cf. Romans 14:17)
So, I find that I have come full circle, right back to the central issue. Do I, will I have faith (believe/trust/commit/obey) that the Lord is true to His word and will provide?
