THE THINGS WE SEEK IN LIFE

1. It seems a natural instinct to “seek”.

2. There are certain basic things we seek in life:

a. Shelter

b. Clothing

c. Food and drink

ADDRESSING THIS MATTER

“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.”

Luke 12:29-30

1. One of the problems that arise from “seeking”.

a. We have an anxious mind if we are not able to find what we are seeking.

b. This problem can become chronic.

2. The Lord’s advice to His Disciples.

a. “Do not seek”

i. There is no need to spend a whole life-time seeking these things.

ii. We must learn to trust God to provide instead.

b. Do not be anxious.

i. Where there is faith in God, anxiety abates.

ii. Where there is little faith in God, anxiety abounds.

SEEKING THE KINGDOM OF GOD

“But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you.”

Luke 12:31

1. The Lord Jesus offered a far better alternative.

2. The challenge is to seek the kingdom of God.

a. To seek God.

b. To understand more of His kingdom.

c. To be involved in the work of the Kingdom.

3. All the things we seek in life.

a. God will provide for all our needs.

b. He will not fail to do His part to take care of us.

针对这件事

b. “不要挂心”

i. 当我们在主里有信,忧虑就会散开

ii. 当我们在主里只有小信，忧虑就会增加
