Treasures and Worry
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own. Matthew 6:34 · Berean Standard Bible
Don't borrow trouble from tomorrow; today has enough of its own. Just take it one day at a time.
Jesus ends with something so practical and human: you can only live today, so let tomorrow take care of itself.
Jesus, giving you permission to breathe.
This is Jesus' way of saying: trust God with the future and focus on being faithful right now, today.
Jesus concludes with practical wisdom: each day's kakia (trouble/evil) is sufficient for itself, so borrowing tomorrow's worries is unnecessary and counterproductive.
This final verse brings the lofty theology of kingdom priorities down to earth with a proverb-like saying about daily living.
Jesus, closing the anxiety discourse with practical wisdom.
This memorable conclusion grounds the entire anxiety teaching in the daily rhythm of ordinary life.
32For the Gentiles strive after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
33But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you.
34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.
Read all of Matthew 6 — Jesus redefines wealth, prayer, and anxiety in a single breath. The lilies and the birds become his unlikely teachers.
