No Hunger Games With God!

• I need a volunteer from the audience, please!  YOU THERE, yes, you will be the perfect Vanna White for the job.  On the board beneath you is a list of 11 bible verses.  I need you to speed read the verses and see if you see a recurring "thought" in the passage . (that was a clue!). Ready, set, Go!!!!

• "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. "(Matthew 6:24-34 KJV)

• Great job!  Now, what is the phrase?  
• You say, "Take no thought"?
• The survey says... "YOU ARE CORRECT!"  
• This passage is from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and 5 times in these 11 verses, our sweet Lord, tells not to even THINK about our  earthly needs.  That's it!  
• Game over!  
• At least that's where our worry ends!  And before you can choose door #1 and say "God didn't save us to sit!", He orchestrates the perfect game plan and moves us to, "seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."                         
• Are you taking thought of your needs?
• Try Again!
•                             
• Are you Seeking God First?                                        
• YOU WIN!
