25: Jesus tells us here not to worry about food or clothing. He points out he futility of this by asking whether life, and a body, are more important than these things. Obviously they are, but we often fail to worry so much about that which we think we can do less about. In other words, Jesus is saying that we should trust Almighty God to provide food and clothing, since we must already trust him to provide life and a body.

Daily Memory Verse: Jude 1:10 “But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.”
Daily Tidbit: Jude 1:10 offers a great illustration of the final form of those who shun the wisdom of Almighty God. Those who were like ‘brute beasts’ in this passage were operating on the only principles they had left after stripping God away from themselves. The word brute can mean ‘absurd’, and this is surely a good description of our world today. We seem to live in a generation of absurdity.
