This is a chapter of reassurance, confidence and love.  Follow the progression with me.

vs. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennes:  Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.

***Not forgotten by God

vs. 15 Then he said to them, “Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.”

***A man’s life is not the story of his wealth and possesions.

vs. 24 Consider the ravens; they do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them.  And how much more valuable you are than birds!

***God feeds the  birds.  His Son died for us.  How much more precious we are than birds.

vs. 29 & 30 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them.

***Our Father, the God of the Universe, knows our needs

vs. 32 Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.

***Our Father, the God of the Universe, is pleased to give us the kingdom.

God values us, provides for our needs, and in the end, He is pleased to give us the kingdom.

Merry Christmas!
