This episode of Memorizing Scripture focuses on Matthew 6:33-34, where Jesus commands us not to be anxious but to seek God's kingdom first. Gordon shares his personal struggles with worry from childhood. However, he later realized that "Do not be anxious" is a command, just like the Ten Commandments.
Jesus teaches that we cannot serve both worry and God—our concerns about appearance, provision, and control must be surrendered to Him. Using examples from nature, Jesus reminds us that if God cares for birds and flowers, He will certainly care for His children. Worry does not add to our lives, but trust in God sustains us.
The key takeaway is to focus on today—not tomorrow’s uncertainties. Instead of worrying about things beyond our control, we should seek to glorify God in the present moment, trusting that He provides what we truly need.
